Hello from the Sunshine Coast

For your samples, you might want to hop into your local kmart for tins. @Chad mentioned this in another thread...

Yeah, saw that yesterday. Gonna head down to Kmart tomorrow to check 'em out.

Don’t bring the wifey with you to Kmart, otherwise, she’ll give you a bloody massive headache.

Jason, here's a tip on DE blades: duck into that shaver shop in Sunshine Plaza and get a pack of Feather blades. They'll show you what DE shaving is all about. Just a word of advice: take care!

Haha... Hey @Maladroit, I do have Feathers. The first time I was brave enough to load one was at about 6 weeks in. I thought I had “perfected“ my technique, rotating through a mix of Astras, Derby’s, Parkers, Wilkinson Swords, etc and I thought, I’m ready!

On the first shave I was ultra careful and got a pretty good shave with just one or two very minor weepers. Day two and I decided to “Go for it”. I was gonna get BBS. The first 2 passes went well, but I got a little greedy with the ATG pass and got a bit of a reality check .


I ended up getting a week of great shaves out of that blade, but I definitely learnt to treat ‘em with respect.

Welcome @JasonC. I’m relatively new as well but this is definitely a great place to feed our ‘Frankenstein’. Have fun

Thanks @Catmanfan Shaves. This wet shaving thing is fast becoming an obsession and P&C has been a great place to find out about all those new soaps, blades and razors that I “just have to get”.
Here is today’s delivery of “must haves” from VSHOD.

Aaaaaaand down the rabbit hole you go. It’s ok, there’s room enough for all of us, lol. Nice pickup there @JasonC
