Thread: 29yo and I finally got my first shave!

Hello everyone my name is Derick and I have been using Gillette products since high school. I always thought that the slight stubble the mach3, 5 or whatever they have now was the norm. I use to get bad razor burn, so much so that I have to shave at night so the redness and bumps would be gone by the morning. Thank God for SRP!

It took about 2 months of reading on this forum and research to decide on my razor and pretty much if I had the “testicular fortitude” to shave with something that could very well end my life with one bad slip . So I got my razor from RupRazor.com (the man has great products for the price) about 2 weeks ago. I also made a stop into an Art of Shaving store in San Antonio when I was in town too. It has been 2 weeks and today was my first shave WTG AND XTG. I have never had a shave this close and no irritation anywhere on my neck/face! I truly consider this my first REAL shave ever and I want to thank everyone here who posts with tips and information on the best way to go. Now the only problem is I know I am hooked and I’m getting the itch to maybe get a few more razors, my fiancé is going to kill me .

Congratulations! And welcome to the forums.

When the fiancé complains about the SR's, just point to her shoes and handbags!

Yeah I wish I could have a closet full of SR’s like she has one for her shoes.

Welcome to SRP! The shaves will only get better and easier as your experience improves. As for a second, third, and however many razors you acquire, just tell her you need back-ups in case something happens. I guess I am lucky, my wife does not have a problem with my collection of razors and assorted paraphernalia, which at this moment is still rather small compared to others here.

Welcome to SRP and Gratz on the shave experience they will only get better !!
