Hello one and all.
I am relatively new to the DE shaving but I am finding that I am suddenly enjoying shaving more than I ever have before. As is so often the way when we find something new we dive straight in and buy a few different things and products. If only I had done a little homework first I may have gone about this slightly differently but I am ready to really concentrate on honing my technique.
I currently own 3 razors. EJ DE89, Merkur Progress and a TTO which was my first purchase and I am not sure what make it even is.
I have bought a few different brushes. An Erasmic Boar, Van der Hagen Luxury Badger brush (cheap as chips) and a EJ Traveling Best badger brush.
Creams and Soaps consist of TOBS coconut and Sandalwood. Cella, Erasmic shaving soap.
I have a selection of blades including Astra, Personna, Voskhod, Feather, Perma sharp and Shark SS.
The plan in just to pick one combination for the next few weeks to hone my technique. I have in mind where I think I may be going with this but all advice appreciated.
My thoughts are the Merkur Progress set on 2 or 3
The VDH Badger brush
TOBS Coconut
Either Astra SP or Personna platinum blade
First shave will be tomorrow.
