Hi All,

Today I had my very first DE shave and I must say it has thus far been the best shaving experience of my life. What the hell was I thinking for the past 35 years of my life . It went so smoothly and everything from the sound to the feel was absolutely perfect. No cuts no burn nothing. I must say though that I read a lot and watched a lot of youtube videos on technique before attempting my first shave. I used an Edwing jagger regular 40 dollar ivory handle razor which was superb combined with an Edwin jagger shaving soap which smells and feels wonderful. I forgot to use my art of shaving preshave oil, I wonder how much better the experience would have gotton with it.

It is such a shame that DE razors don't get enough publicity, they are so marginalized that guys like me must stumble upon the correct website to get my interest awakened. Instead you got high profile athletes putting their faces onto way inferior multi blade razors that gets the masses thinking that this is the way to go spending way more than they should.

My Edwin Jagger though not the most expensive razor feels so sturdy that i can see it last a lifetime and I wonder if a very expensive razor could yield to an even better shave.

Another added bonus is that my wife won't steal my razor now .

I am a believer now and my mission is to make every man I know one as well.

Thanks to everyone on this forum for all the valuable input.

Cheers,
