Hi Chaps

[juice]

Hi chaps,
New here, having just migrated from a Gillette Mach3.

Having found Cannaught shaving, I now have a Feather Popular and a sixty blade starter pack.
Speick Cologne, aftershave lotion, stick and bar soap.
Aubrey organics aftershave.
Vulfix 375 brush
Wilko's brush (what a great brush)
Gillette blue bowl soap (bin city)

Wish list:
EJ DE89L or a Muhle R89
Nannys soap; having issues with shaving soap, (see my other post) so am using bath soap at the moment - lets see what this Nannys soap is going to be like.

Cheers Juice

Welcome - I know you're getting good advice on the other thread about soap, but here's a thought - what about trying a cream instead?

Welcome to TSR! Hope you can solve your shaving soap conundrum.

Shanky: Taylors cream is one of the best, but if your budget doesn't stretch to it (it's £8 a large tub) then some of the cheap creams get good press, Erasmic and Palmolive being 2 of the cheapest, and Body Shop's maca root is a good performer.

Welcome to the forum, Juice

Re creams I'd say Taylor's, but if you're about to get some Nanny's soap, that ought to do you nicely.

Hi there,

That's actually not a bad razor to start out with. Used that one myself in the past and the darn thing worked pretty well with a very sharp blade. It's a milder razor than most any other ones around, which is fine for easing into this 'hobby'.

If your sample pack has a Gillette SharpEdge in the mix, you might start with that sharp blade. Or, maybe try a Crystal (Israeli Personna) or a Red Personna, both being milder blades.

Whatever you decide on, stick with the same type for at least two weeks before trying a different brand. Or, after a few weeks maybe try another razor with that same type blade and see what happens. Yeah, you're gonna find a big difference when you switch razors, but those two weeks with the Popular will make the transition to a more aggressive razor quite a bit easier.

Good luck sliding down the rabbit hole,

Martin
