hello randy and john,

don't get me wrong, i didn't just go and buy a shaving kit and everything was perfect...far from it. i am just now getting to the point of narrowing down what works great and that which can be left behind. right now as it stands it is 2 razors (and one collectible), 2 mugs, 2 brushes, 2 types of blades, 2 aftershaves and about a half-dozen soaps.

thanks,
mike

Asking yourself, "Maybe I should try a cream?", "Bigger knot on a brush?", "What if I get a Moss scuttle to keep the lather warm?", "Will a meat chopper be more fun than my 5/8s?" Next thing you know...
