New to SMF

Post by Sin7 »

Hello from NJ,
Brand new to SMF and pretty new to wet shaving. I thought I would save some money with this hobby but little did I know...

Welcome, Sin7!

You can save money with traditional wetshaving, but these forums tend to lead one astray! A basic kit will serve you very well, but you hit that slippery sloap when you try to find just the right brush, just the right razor, and just the right everything else. It sounds like you have already been corrupted, however, so you're in good company.

Welcome to SMF. And in case you were thinking otherwise, many of us have ADs other than wet shaving. We have our own fair share of audiophiles, gadget geeks .... :D
