Slippery Slopes: wet shaving

Thanks to Barco and Craig, I have started another journey down a steep slippery slope.

Last night I ordered a wet-shaving instructional book and this morning used one of the soaps that Craig sent as well as a straight razor that Barco sent. I find myself cruising razor sites looking for that next purchase. I am currently compiling a Christmas wishlist for my wife that includes various soaps, razors, brushes and bowls. I find this all to be very exciting just like when I got started into cigars. I love accessories!!!

For now I will stay away from pipes.

Anybody else here wet shaves?

Rob, I can tell you, its the closest shave I have ever had. I am using a scented soap right now called Sandlewood Vanella. Its wonderful!

Robert, I can assure you that when my wife's lawyer serves me with the divorce papers, it is these guys whom I will send the paperwork to for signatures.

LOL!

The first time I shaved with a straight, I nicked myself 7 times.

Holy crap! This Dragon's Blood BearHaven soap that I am using is to die for! The scent is unreal! After my shave I use Pinaud Clubman atershave. I bought the aftershave at Walgreens for $6.99. As Rob said, the whole wet shaving experience is quite relaxing. I used to hate shaving, now I shave everyday and actually look forward to it.

I will eventually start using a straight but for now i am going to stick with a DE. I have two ebay DE's coming in this week and am really looking forward to using them.

Cheryl and i are going to antique stores on Saturday to see if we can find some DE's.

BEWARE: DO NOT LET CHRIS MULALLY BE AN INFLUENCE ON YOU!

I just ordered some shaving supplies. I have a nice custom shave scuttle with my initials coming as well as a new brush, cream and alum block. www.dirtybirdpottery.com is where the scuttle is coming from. A work of art.
