Thread: Hello from Colorado

Like a lot of people I have become fed up with the high price for an inferior shave.. Decided to look into DE shaving and was amazed at the amount of info.
It will be some time before I can even consider straight razors. (Single Dad with little people demanding much attention)...

So.. I am here to learn and hopefully find the solution to turn a mundane task, into a pleasurable and rewarding experience..

Hello and welcome.

Hi and welcome. Even with a DE you will find a world of difference and a whole lot more enjoyment with your shaving. Good luck and if you get stuck or need help feel free to ask we love to answer.

Welcome.

I too have the little ones. We worry about them so much. I find I must keep my razors very safe away from them. I have also instructed them (like firearms) never to touch them.

Aside from that I find DE shaving and straight shaving take close to the same amount of time to prep and shave. The straight takes a bit more time for razor maintenance.

You will be happy with the shave either way and if your children are like mine so will they be.

Welcome to SRP and wetshaving. Your gonna gain so much from here and best part of it is the people you meet.

Welcome to the Forum Mike! I told you... The Rabbit Hole runs deep on this Hobby and you are going to have a blast! :-D Definitely pencil the Mile High Meet in at some point whenever possible... The information, sharing and camaraderie is simply beyond compare and you'll be hanging out with people who have walked this path and can set you straight on any issue within minutes.

That type of information is in "Get Togethers and Meetings" Sub-Forum here:

Wooohoo my Edwin Jagger 89lbl arrived today, beautiful razor. I had about 2 days of growth, and it did a great job.. I did have a few nicks on the lower neck. My beard is not thick, but the hair is coarse...My neck has always been a problem area. I am going to try some different blades, I don't think the Derby blades that came with the razor are right for my face.. Over all a much better and more comfortable shave then the old cartridge..

I would suggest getting a blade sample pack to see which work best for you. I find the Astra SPs to be a good blade. Never tried Derby's, but they don't seem to get the best reviews.
