Hi Everyone,
I joined on here so i can share my shave routine and get some pointers from y'all.
Ever since i was in high school i was using a Phillips electric and occasionally i'd swap it out for a cartridge. Around 2013/14 i (don't remember how/why exactly) stumbled across the mensbiz website. This led me to search into this style of DE shaving more thoroughly which led me to purchase a 34C, a Trumpers SB4 brush, and a tub of Proraso green cream.
Me being me, a week later i thought, "lets expand my soap collection". So i did and had about 5 or 6 within 10-12 weeks! Come christmas time, my wife buys me a shavershop gift card so i grabbed an EJ DE89 and some more Proraso in different scents.
After about a year of shaving with this, i somehow drifted back to the cartridge razor and only 12 months ago, back to another electric shaver.
About 3 weeks ago, i looked at all my kit and thought "i'm gonna make some good use of this gear!" So have been using my kit pretty much daily since (apart from a few days where i was interstate with the electric).
Now, when starting my hobby up again, i thought "i wonder what mensbiz has for purchase online?" so low and behold, i've now got a tub of TOBS almond and a tube of TOBS avocado cream, along with a bottle of Proraso aftershave to go with my Spieck aftershave.
Anyway, since starting again, i've had to work on my technique in all areas, and not be too cocky and cut myself. My biggest challenge is around the jawline and the chin area. Hopefully, some day soon, i hit the sweet spot and can replicate a great shave on a daily basis.
Thanks for reading, and let me know what you think.
Tim
