Hello theshaveden-ers,

I'm returning to proper wet shaving after somehow abandoning it for a decade or so. My main objective was to learn wielding a straight razor without ending up with a huge medical bill. Unfortunately I think I may have picked up some ADs that will get me even bigger bills. It's good I'm a student right now, but I think I can see the future on this one....

Anyways, I wanted to say 'hi' to everybody.

Cheers

.....and hang on to your wallet. :D

He's only kidding! It is simply not possible for anyone who hangs out here to hang on to their wallet! As I seem to recall reading "somewhere else", resistance is futile! But look at all the money you won't spend on cartridges! :rofl

Welcome to The Shave Den, Gugi!

Thank you all for the warm welcome :)

Oh, I know my wallet is doomed :) I think my only option now is to at least enjoy the ride...

Anybody looking for a sweet deal on M3-turbo-vibro cartridges. They come shave-ready with a free battery operated handle (or two if you respond within the next 15 minutes).
Do I hear 1c. Repeat one cent... minted in pure brass... backed by the largest economy in the world. Sold! You sir get a free shipping, congratulations!
....Oh, you're saying I can't mix the plastic and the metal recycling? You won't take it? I don't understand....

Yeah I'm actually already looking forward to my shaves instead of hating them. Just the idea of making a proper lather has been a huge revelation. Now I'm learning to strop and hold the straight razor...

Cheers
