The Shaving Thread

[chefchris]

And.................... How'd the shave go???

Those C&E brushes are actually quite well known and made by a very reputable manufacturer, just relabled.

Shave went fine, no irritation at all. I was surprised, I was expecting the worst. It was scary holding that heavy razor on my face, ecspecially since I haven't shaved with a razor in probably 2 years. I use an electric razor. Skin feels good today. I think I'm gonna like this, I know Sarah will.

Take it slow and easy. If it takes you less than 20 minutes, you're going wayyyyyyy too fast. Don't rush it, the best is yet to come.

What kind of soap / cream & ASL did you use??

Oh believe me, I took my time. Couldn't risk messing up this beautiful face. I used Taylor's Avocado and some peppermint aftershave. The name escapes me, it wasn't mine.

Thanks for pointing me the direction of Badger and Blade BTW guys. I now have a Merkur 38C Barberpole (GREAT looking razor!), Badger Brush and a modest collection of soaps and creams. I'll be putting up a free newbie PIF CE razor starting kit in a little while, so if you're thinking of trying DE shaving, let me know. I'll give preference to someone who is a member of both the Badger and Blade Forum and Cigarsmokers.com.

Careful with that new hobby. I sliced my lip pretty good two nights ago. No joke - bled for 6 hours. I didn't know we had arteries in the lips. Now I'm walking around with this awkward scab on my lip.

I e-mailed that to my wife at work a while ago and she didn't get it. She showed it to a few of her friends at work and asked what the joke was and they all laughed at her.

I'm still paying for that one!!!!
