[QUOTE="HoosierPuffer, post: 56161, member: 670"] If I may, I recommend badgerandblade.com. Several on this forum frequent there. With that said, I'm an avid wetshaver myself - having almost always shaved with a Mach3 before getting into DE and even some straight razor shaving. I do not recommend using the goo in a can shaving cream. I completely recommend the $5 tube of C.O. Bigelow shaving cream from Bath n Body works. Best value on the market. Great stuff at a steal's price. Get a brush to use with it. Even a boar brush is fine from Wally World. Use it with your Mach3 and you'll get good results. Some rules: [list=1] [*]No pressure on the blade. (Most commercials show applying pressure, which means PAIN.) [*]Figure out hte grain of your beard. With the grain is the direction in which you rub your face and feel the least roughness. [*]Shave in multiple passes. Go with the grain, with the grain, across the grain, than against the grain. Think of it as gradually reducing your beard with each pass. [*]Practice [/list] Buy some good after shave balm. Again, the stuff at Bath n Body works is great. For < $30 you can have a very good setup that will last you a long time. [/QUOTE]
