New to forum. I found it looking for shaving soaps to try. While I am not new to DE shaving, it has been a very long time. I started shaving with a DE razor, Gillette - don't really know which model, around mid 60's. Yeh, I'm an old fart! Tried multitude of shave foams etc, that came in a can. Discovered soaps and brushes and that helped. Eventually went to multblade razors simply because they didn't irritate my face so much. Over the years, I progressed to better shave soaps and brushes. My current search was for soaps to try something different. Current razor is a Gillette 3-blade. When I stumbled upon this forum. I was getting tired of the price of the blades, about $2.50 each. Even though they last for about 2 weeks (I have a full beard, but still shave what I consider to be the most sensitive part of the face the neck) the price gets up there. I decided to order an EJ 89L razor and blade sampler. The total cost of this is still less than the cost of my old blades for the remainder of the year. Will keep posted. My new razor and blades should be in this week.
