Hey everyone just wanted to post here after having my first few shaves using a DE. I have been using an Edwin Jagger 89 with the included Derby Blades and so far I love it. I have a Tweezermans Badger Brush and I'm using some Taylors of Old Bond St Sandelwood Cream.

This combo has so far been amazing, all shaves I have done so far have been great, so smooth and effortless. There is no skin irritation at all and the entire experience has just been great. Literally as I made my first ever pass I said out loud "The modern disposable razor is a butchers knife compared to this" while smiling ear to ear like a little kid on Christmas.

Thanks for all the advice here that has helped me discover this amazing way to shave! I can't wait to shave again because of how enjoyable the experience really is. Thanks again everyone!
