for the record, I generally don't recommend shaving there
Don't overlook boar brushes. A decent boar brush can be had for $30. Many here on this board even prefer them over higher end badger brushes. I can PM you a link to a great source for them if you want.
And in case you haven't noticed, the people here don't make it easy to save any money. :)
Okay, it has been a week and my observations:
More to follow as my journey continues :popcorn:
- It is worth getting out of bed 20 minutes earlier just to shave
- Found an amazing amount of people when I mention I have taken straight say "Cool, but are you mad??" (BTW, the answer is probably yes...barking mad actually :y)
- One of the guys I work with actually uses a DE and may convert :borg:
- DON'T START THINKING ABOUT WHAT ELSE YOU HAVE TO DO!! :tameshigiri::gaah:
- Items off eBay never come quick enough
- eBay is addictive
- What is BBS??? Bloodless Brilliant Shave???
- My face feels smoother for longer
- Under and chin and directly under the nose are a PITA :):D
I'd be careful with shaving from razor off ebay until you get them checked out by a pro or they're marked as 'shave ready' by a reputable seller.
BBS = baby butt smooth
Man, I tell you what, it looks like straight razor shaving is about as wallet draining as bicyling.
Okay, end of week two observations.....:mexwave:
More to follow next week :popcorn:
- Face still relatively intact
- DON'T START THINKING ABOUT WHAT ELSE YOU HAVE TO DO!! :tameshigiri::gaah:
