Hello from London, UK

[Jack Sales]

Hi everyone! I've just signed up on here as I'm about to get into wet shaving with a safety razor. I've ordered a few bits and bobs which should arrive soon:

• Merkur 34C HD razor
• Astra SP blades
• Arko Shaving Cream Soap Stick
• Progress Vulfix 404 Grosvenor brush
• Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Herbal Shaving Soap
• Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Aftershave Lotion

I'm hoping that's a good combination to get started with!

Welcome aboard.

Bem vindo, companheiro!

An excellent choice, Sir.
However, I note the absence of a pre-shave cream or similar product - do not neglect your prep!

Really? I have never bothered with any pre-shave other than bloom water when using MWF. I think its a YMMV issue.

Indeed it is - and I am sure that MWF needs no pre-shave.
However, as evoke is a beginner I thought it should be included.
