Can I be on the list as well please Andreas?

I know I'm a bit new to DE, but in the two or three months it is likely to take to get to my name, I'll, hopefully, have built up a bit of technique and experience.

Cheers, John

(I thought this DE shaving lark would save me money?)

Certainly, John.
This experience will cost you a bit of postage, unless...

Thanks Andreas

Three weeks in, and so far I have 5 razors, 5 soaps, 2 brushes and >250 blades, amongst other bits!!

Cheers, John
5 razors is excessive for three weeks. Stick to one razor for a month at least. It will force you concentrate on technique.. Then again.. nobody ever listens to this very good advice when they start - why should you?
5 soaps, 2 brushes is OK..
250 blades.... hmmm.. stick with blade samplers to start with...
Oh go on then... blow your money... everyone does it to start with. There's always BST to unload it all.
 
Can you add me to the list please @riverrun
Yup.

5 razors, not quite as crazy as it sounds (at least that is what I am telling myself)

DE89 in the EJ Jan sale
42C with the 1904 handle from Shaving Shack, and one iof their £9.99 Seconds
Snagged a Slim Adjustable in my birthday quarter on ebay, so that is on its way
Today, when the Agent Shave discount offer popped, I bought a Futur, 10% off made it £45, felt it was too good to leave.

Blades, they are sample packs!! :) but they are 2 of the Gem 100 packs of 5 varieties, x 20 of each.

Thought they'd be good to revisit later and on different razors, and they just worked out so much better on price.

Gives me something to pop into teh newbies box as it passes through my hands.

So, not totally crazy. :cough:

Cheers, John

First shave with a Vokshod wasn't very good, patchy with some irritation. Very patchy actually with no efficiency.
Second shave this morning with a Feather as recommended to me @Wayne
That's more like it. Not a bad two pass shave at all. No buffing needed. Not very long lasting though
That's it for me.
I think with a Feather you could probably get some real good shaves, unusually for a Feather it never felt like it was going to nick me.
But it's not an ideal blade, expensive to buy and naff after the second use.
It's well built and clamps the blade firmly but not for me quite as nice as Timeless etc
Love the box!
 
The razor landed safely today. I look forward to giving it a go on Saturday morning. Thanks to @Paul for making the razor available for the pass around, and to @riverrun for his organisational skills.
Thank you. Not too many places left on the list....
