Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum. Good to be here. I stumbled upon this site while looking for info about straight razors. After a lot of reading, I decided to start out with a safety razor. Santa knew I wanted one, so he brought me an Edwin Jagger DE86 last Christmas. I also just bought a vintage Shumate straight razor on eBay. I'll post more about that when it arrives. It'll be a while before I shave with that and it'll probably be more of a weekend razor. I also have a cheap badger brush and an Omega boar brush. I always thought I was a wet shaver before with my disposable twin blade and a can of Barbasol. I thought a cartridge razor and a safety razor were the same thing and I had no idea that shave brushes and shave soap even existed. It's still a work in progress, but I think I'm improving everyday. Still nicking myself a bit, but nothing too bad. I really like how I can shave everyday now if I want. That was never an option before because it was just too irritating. Anyway, great to be here and I'm excited to learn all I can about wet shaving.
