Thread: total noob but not for long

if it was made in solingen its going to be a great razor! BUT has it been honed to shave ready? if not send it off and have it honed so you dont carve your face like a christmas ham while its out getting honed you should find a good badger hair brush, a shaving mug or scuttle if you choose you can always steal a bowl from the kitchen and use that
and some good shaving cream or soap theres a section on here for reviews of creams and soaps..dont skimp on this get something quality. i use taylor of bond street creams. its fairly good price and works very well then theres the top of the line stuff like truefitt and hill and the castle forbs collection theres also a wiki site on here with tons of info on whats good and what to avoid. good luck and welcome aboard.......thats funny you say hurry up and shave.. for me it always seems to be the hurry up and wait.. be here at 0400 and dont do anything until 0930
