Hi, I originally signed up a week ago but have been busy-ish and forgot to post/introduce myself. If that's important to mention.
I'm Andrew from the NW of England. I've been shaving with a DE safety razor for about 5 months (I think) and recently got a straight razor however I'm unhappy with it and hope to get a better one asap. (Suggestions?)
Originally I was using the sandalwood starter kit from shavelounge but I have chosen some other soaps to use and a particular blade, yellow Gillettes. My current soaps are Stirling barbershop and OSP sandalwood. I also have Wickham shamrock tweed but I'm not the biggest fan of the scent, it's ok.
I have an interest in many traditional things, so for example I'll be training to be a joiner and I like the more traditional side. Anything from hand tool use to old technques.
Anyway just some info/background in shaving... Wanted to introduce myself and hope to get to know the members of the forum. Sorry for the long-ish intro
