Hello. I have been poking about the forum for a couple of days now, gathering information, so I thought I should officially join, post and say hello.

I have been researching better shaving methods for my husband as he has a lot of irritation from shaving, mainly due to doing many passes with a multi-blade commercial razor (from my observation anyhow) to get the shave close enough for his taste. I am also becoming quite interested in the possibility of doing my own shaving after reading some of the ladies threads as well. Oh, the hazards of research.

I am sure I will mainly lurk and absorb information for the next few days. There is a LOT of great information for newbies like myself, and it is laid out in such a way that it was easy to find. Thank you all for your generous help and sharing natures!
