I thought maybe I was jumping the gun and buyin to quickly but I'm seeing a lot of posts that everyone else gets addicted really quickly to this wonderful crack habit. I had been DE shaving for about 2 months and then had to try straights and that was a month and a half ago. So far I'm at:
-Portland razor 5/8 round point
-friodur 5/8 round point from 1932
-Wade and butcher 6/8 barbers notch wedge 1870ish(in the mail) had to try a wedge
-Kent bk8 pure(a little floppy for me)
-chubby 1 super(love this brush as I've been face lathering)
-28mm 2 band blackship grooming brush(in the mail)
-20x loupe so I can continually improve my stroping
-2 2.5" strops (1 pasted on the canvas)
-11 soaps/creams (blown away by blackship grooming soaps)
-3 aftershave balms/splashes
-dirty bird brush scuttle (will be in the mail shortly)
-2 pre shave oils
I absolutely love this and I know I'll slow down but right now I couldn't if I wanted to! Haha It makes me take time to shut off the technology and relax, my skin is in the best shape it's ever been and it's a cool feeling to use some of these razors that are 100+ years old. Thanks for all the great advice and ideas on the forum guys. Awesome community on SRP.
