Hello. My name is Eddie. I am 29 years old, active duty military and married to an active duty military (talk about an interesting life style!)

So I've been frequenting the site here for awhile lurking in the background and reading posts. I have been straight razor shaving for about 2 months now and love every minute of it. I have read way more "noobie" posts than I care to imagine and I hope this isn't as such.

I haven't even begun to dabble into honing yet and don't plan on it any time soon. I have grown up my whole life honing my pocket knives and I am pretty good at it, but still, I don't want to lose the passion I have for shaving over something as silly as that.

The only question I have, and I'm aware that there is not a right or wrong answer, is this: I found some aftershave balm at Target called "Everyman Jack". They have a few different products and at less than $6 for a 4.2oz bottle, I am very impressed. face lotion | signature mint - Every Man Jack I love the product and it does everything I expect it to. Now, since I am a "noobie", maybe I'm missing out on something. Maybe there are better products but I have blinders on because this is my first one. In other products and aspects of life, I find that the first one I find that I like, I always go back to it after trying other products (often more expensive items at that). So, has anybody else tried this aftershave balm and if so, how do you think it compares? Thanks in advance.

Eddie
