Thread: Jumping in with both feet first, from Edmonton AB, Canada.

Thanks for the welcome, guys!
As far as the Alopecia goes, there isn't really any tangible force that bothers it. It mainly seems triggered by stress. Mainly dependant on the work load I take on in the office.

The red spots, I probably could have elaborated on. It's just the odd patch of flushed/irritated skin. It feels basically the same as razor burn. When I'm paying close attention, and really taking my time, they don't tend to happen. I suppose my skin isn't terribly sensitive either. I definitely have to moisturize, but it's mainly any sort of abrasion that bothers it. It's a constant battle with regular cartridge razors.

I'll try and get some pictures up here in a day or two as well! At the moment, I have pre-shave oil, shaving cream, after-shave balm, a bowl, brush, strop & linen, and a decent Dovo razor.

Hi and welcome. Seems you are already a ways down the path so read up and enjoy. Sure you will find plenty here to help get better shaves. Any questions feel free to ask

Welcome to the forum. There are quite a few Canadians here and several Albertans. In fact I think the Alberta meet this year will be in Beaumont. No dates have been announced yet. There is also decent wet shaving supplies in Edmonton and well as a few people that hone, and another guy in Calgary. Good luck on the learning and if you need any information we are all here.
