Thread: Hiya! New chick here!

Oh, we try... Just spreading the love of wet shaving. This is the best and most active forum I know, and the people here have helped me a lot when I have gotten stuck on something. There is also a great place called Queen Charlotte Soaps, made right here in Charlotte of all natural ingredients.

I'll drink to that!

lol

Oooooh I'll have to check them out too! DH is going to come home one day.... "Where the hello did all this SOAP come from?!?"

As you might have read...there is a learning curve to straights, but learning your way around a brush, soap/cream, etc is something you can start doing now...and by the time you have your own shave-ready straight, you will have that down.

If you are looking to forsake cartridges ASAP, you might want to look into a double edge safety razor to start on. I bought my SWMBO a Gillette blue lady...but I think she is just going to stop there...she's scared of straights

So YOU snatched that out from under me! You fiend!

Oh, and welcome to SRP Madam Grimm!

Lol and thanks so much!!

Not going to lie, I think the mama bear seasonal soaps have really caught my eye. Woodsy, amber, fire, dirt, and pine smells. Heaven.

Ha,ha! That avatar is a classic. Welcome, and after a while on here, you won't hate shaving anymore.

Thanks!

I'm getting the strong feeling I won't for long at all!

@nycexit2 Hehe I can definitely see why someone wouldn't buy them too often, they definitely get spendy. I got his for a pretty good deal I think... it's even shave ready and included a hanging strop, vintage Avon mug, matching aftershave and a little badge hair brush.

If you guys learn to like your 4/8 - the one nice thing about that size is, they are less sought after and hence, cheaper lol! It's a nice bi-product lol!

All the best of luck!!

Why are 4/8's not as sought after? I don't mind either way, even if it isn't always his go-to I know he'll love it since it was his first. Especially since it's his first father's day since our son has been born.
