Thread: new member in pa

greetings to all the members out there.
thank you all for helping me rid my life of those overpriced pos cartridge razors.
after i turned 30 i realized i could only get 2 good shaves out of a 5$ fusion cartridge, after which it would start pulling and leaving sharp little hairs in uncomfortable places. i ended up shaving less and hating it.
i might have grown a beard, but my wife won't have me unless i am baby butt smooth.
so i had her buy me a set from srd for christmas.
my first shave was great, although it did take about an hour.
i am still working on my left hand technique and trying to keep my edge a keen as i can.
i had to buy a swaty after about a month, and that makes it shave just like new again.
some day i will get some new razors, but for now i am happy just to be able to shave everyday.
since i started using shaving soap, my face got a little dry. but i found a great after shave treatment which i recommend to anyone who will try it:
After i rinse my face i rub a small bit of raw shea butter into my beard, you dont need a lot. Then i rub some witch hazel into that which spreads it out and feels amazing. i spread it all over my face and even into my hair.
Thanks again to all of you senior members out there with thousands of posts, you guys are great.
