Hello from Santa Cruz, CA
Hey all,
My name is Mike. I recently started back into wet shaving and using a SR when my wife purchased a wet shave kit from a local hipster men's store.
My previous experience was learning to SR shave from my grampa.
So far it's been a mixed bag. The most frustrating aspect is getting a good lather, which I suspect is a soap issue since the soap that came with the kit is likely cheap. I'm carefully reading your reviews looking for something that will remind me of grampas old shave soap that was a lot like old spice and mental.
The fun part is sharpening. I've been sharpening my own knives since I was a kid and reading the forum and watching the videos on YouTube I've already learned that I have a few bad habits!
At any rate, here I am.
