I will take the Taylor any day given

That's the idea. :D In fact, for a big occasion, a starter kit of the book along with the basic tools from, say, Rob_TN's beginner recommendations. BTW, where is Rob_TN? Is he still moving/starting his new job? Yep I think it is a really nice present, maybe I will get a nice start kit with your boo...

WOW I have so many to say here, and I haven't write for some time in the forum So Here we go Iacchus : Great to read all that you have written Shaving is really a "man thing" up to the roots, and for me it isn't only the shaving, but also the tradition behind it, and the fact my feather t...

I love the Merkur HD, it is just the best out there, you can really "control" it because it isn't to long or heavy
I get great shaves with it to

I have this "clean set"
I think that using a nice shampo should be enough, but it nice to use the "clean set" once in few months to make the brush really "shave clean"

I think Vulfix has a great shave cream, maybe they don't smell very good, but they make a great lather and aren't cost at all
What is bad with this?!

I am really "old style" here
I prefer having some hot water in some kind of big bowl, and a mirror in front of me, and that all
No need for a sink or something like that:)

Maybe I should buy one for my brother

Yep I have done that, when I was much younger, was very nice:)

Yep shaving in a hurry is a bad thing for you

As for healing it up, I don't know of to many ways, but maybe guys here can tell me too

Welcome dude

Great pic!!!
Loved your Rolex, Can you post the face of it too?

As for the razor, seem a very nice one, maybe I should get it, (Hard to resist)

I think most guys here prefer the Rooney I have the Rooney Finest 2 in size 1 (Small), and it is a very good brush :twisted: (Very white hair, extra long, and hold a lot of water) Pilsson seem to go very high in price, (I think even 200$ for that Rooney is at leat 1.5x more then its worth - if it wa...

Great story

And yeah I think DE and Straight shaving is like Riding a bike, once you have done it good, you can't go wrong, your brain has it inside, so it takes maybe some time to get used to it again, but it will be much easier then learn the thing from the begin

Great intro, and you have a nice tool set to begin with, enjoy

It takes time but you will improve, every one improve from shave to shave

Welcome man!! I was (and still am sometimes) in the Israel army and had the same problems you have face when shaving! In our army they also treat facial hair as an enemy and yeah we need to be clean face all day long :? So, shaving in the army was a really "pain in the ass" for me too, I r...

It is a great thing you come here!
Hope you will convince your friends to come here too

DE shaving isn't hard at all!!! it does take a little time to get used to , but soon you will love it very much

I prefer building the lather on my face, I enjoy it much more and the brush does it job way better

You have so many things to know and to learn Ok First thing you DO want to get a brush and a nice cream or/and soaps - ok?! no way you are going to shave with out it! You can get a very nice badger hair brush for 50$ or a boar for 25$ and creams and soaps cost from 3$ to 28$ usually (soaps are cheap...
