Hello all
I've been interested in starting to shave with a safety razor and maybe even a straight razor eventually however I dont have any experience with it and at a bit of a loss where to start. Fortunately with Christmas (and my birthday) around the corner, my gf has committed to helping me out.
I'm looking for advise on what type of equipment we should be looking for.
I understand the basic needs are
Handle
Blades
Cream/soap
Brush
Beyond that I'm at a complete loss. I guess i'm really looking for advice for equipment/kits to buy for a beginner who is looking to try it out.
A little about myself if that helps, I'm 26 and live in Canada. I dont typically shave to often (twice a week) but hopefully with a shiny new razor it'll happen more. I would like to be able to buy supplies easily (i.e. be nice to pick up new blades/cream locally)
My gf found this site and telling me to look at stuff but like I said, I really know nothing.
