I'm new to TSD, but I've been wetshaving about 3 months now.

Hi,

This is my first post. I have no experience with DE shaving. At the urging of my brother, I am going to give it a try! I am tired of paying way too much for throw away junk. :mad: I'd like to start in easy and build my technique.
So, with luck and patience I will get a pretty good shave. Help!

Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I'll do my best to learn from all the information here. Many thanks to Joe! :signs001

Steve

[Hawkeye5]

You will learn, Steve. You will definitely learn to shave well.The question is, what is it you will learn from us afflicted with various and sundry acquisition disorders? Poor lad, he never saw it coming. :rofl

I cant say I feel bad for him, the AD is half the fun! ::

[Ham]

I just received Joe's package, I am overwhelmed. :drool Many thanks, I will go forth to shave and learn my technique. It's this kind of kindness that starts a Pay It Forward action. Well done Joe!:signs001

[Mottern Man]

What did you get?

Post in the Haul Thread!:D

[Ham]

:eek: ::git Ok, this place rocks!
Joe sent me:
a gold Gillette Tech razor
Omega Boar brush
J M Fraser shave cream
Bay Rum after shave splash
some Derby & IP blades
Prof. Patton's after shave balm
Barbasol latherless shave cream
samples of:
Anthony after shave balm
King of Shaves
Sharps Body wash

A plethora of stuff!

First shave: about 20 minutes, being new and trying the 4 quadrant/pass method. Not too bad of a shave, taking my time, being deliberate UNTIL...
I have this small beauty mark right on my jawline, yes you guessed it, nick city. Ok, ok... a dab of styptic :eek: all is well. Nice shave I might say, smooth, not too red. After applying the soothing Prof. Patton I was heading out the door ready to greet the world.

Guys (esp. Joe) hats off to a great site, to a new way of shaving.
I can't say thank you enough. :: Looking forward to getting deeper into this new "hobby" that I have been muddling through for 25+ years.

[Mottern Man]

Hi guys,

Well it's been a few weeks since I got my "loot" from Joe :D I have practiced my techique and learned to make fine shave lather with that fantastic MB soap and boar brush followed by a little Anthony ASB. A few nicks here and there but it's coming along. Gotta say, THIS is the way to shave, hands down. Now I'll explore some other blades and maybe a bit softer brush to use with creams. Thanks for the fine threads and good reading.
Joe, you the man. ::poze

Steve

[rick]

Steve:

Glad you are enjoying your success and
you are correct.

Joe is Da MAN :D

Keep up the good work :D
