New to wet shaving

Post by stansdad24 »

Hi all,

Been working at DE shaving for a couple months now. I'm new to the site so I figured I would say a hearty hello to all. Look forward to learning as much as I can :)

Hullo Brandt! Welcome. First rule: Pay no heed to anything, and I mean ANYTHING I post on these boards. The others will confirm this. I'll have you lathering with bacon grease if given half the chance. MUAHAHAHAHAHA! :wink:

Welcome to SMF Brandt!

There's lots of info in the archives and if you have questions we're here.

One tip... don't forget single edge razors. Lots of folks, myself included, consider them superior to most DE razors. Yeah, it was shameless plug for SE razors, I know. :oops:

So Brandt, how's that bacon grease working out! Seriously though, it's been a while since we heard from you. Just wondering if you've found any particular soap/cream/razor/blade etc., that has started to pique your interest. That's the stuff we like to yak about! :)

Greg's answer to everything is wrap it in bacon and you have to admire his consistency.
