Thanked: 983Well, I found this thread a bit late to be of any use to you mate. All the good advice has already been given away...And for bloody free by the look of it! I would say keep the DE idea on the back burner at the least. They are a handy thing to have around, though I much prefer my cut-throats...But that's just a personal thing. As far as skin problems go, you might find the best thing you do for yourself, regardless of the scraping tool used, is getting yourself a shaving brush and some proper shaving soap or cream. Ed as already mentioned some decent cheap ones in Fauldings and Parmolive, there are better out there, but they are good to kick off with for a budget conscious beginner.
As my mate Havachat would say, Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

As a Yank I was going to chime in after I read to the end of the responses.But other Aussies and one Brit beat me to it. I converse with bombay, MickR and edhewitt. All good people with practical info. But I, also, will stress, look into to the SRP wikis. A wealth of info. I often go back several times and find something I missed the first time.
Welcome, and enjoy the ride,

I'm a bit late to the party as well and Mick stole my line...hehehehe.
Welcome aboard, Sheff and I'm sure Sunbird (Townsville) will chime in soon too.
AFAIK cut throats can be put in checked in luggage but not carry-on.
Looking forward to sharing your journey with youHang on and enjoy the ride...

Thanks for the very warm welcome guys! Island time, love it! Everything has now been ordered. Razor, strop, brush and soap. Now just waiting impatiently for it all to arrive!
I'll make sure to post about my progress. In the meanwhile I'm scouring the wikis for every bit of information I can. I think this is the beginning of an addiction.
Thanks again, SheffLast edited by sheff; 09-20-2013 at 01:04 AM.
