I was purposely avoiding this for a long time. I mean, how many things can a guy get into? Who has the time and money for so many vices..... Errr, hobbies. OK, so I really don't have too many of those any more, and there's the ongoing cost of a cheap shave I'm paying for that is so not worth the money... :suspect:
What happened was, I went into walmart once again to grab some shitty disposable razors and cream and they're just stupid expensive, just keeps going up. The shave cream does nothing for your face, the razors are rough, don't shave well, and are almost $10 for 3. Enough already. I'm sitting here rubbing my roughed up face looking at my email and there's a deal from west coast shaving for Tabac shave soap. That was all it took, I'm going in. Looked around, they have a badger brush for just over $20. Sold.
I'll use up the disposable razors for now, throw away the canned shave cream once the Tabac and the badger brush get here, but I'm at a loss as to a DE razor and blades. The Muhle R89 looks nice. Was thinking the Merkur 34c but I noticed talk of issues with blade alignment. Suggestions welcome. I guess a sampler of different blades sounds like the best start.
If I'm a good boy, maybe Santa will bring me a nice stand for the razor and brush, and a bowl for lathering :santa:
