I've been reading posts on B&B for quite awhile now, but I figured I should finally introduce myself and share my story (which is probably similar to a lot of others).
About 2 years ago, I randomly stopped in an Art of Shaving store in the mall, and ended up getting their starter kit with a brush. I instantly noticed a difference in my shave. I started looking more into wet shaving and got more and more fed up with the "mainstream" shaving crap, but I decided to wait until I had depleted my small stockpile of Mach 3 blades before upgrading to a safety razor (which lasted a lot longer than it should have because I don't have to shave every day and I grew out my beard for awhile). About 6 months ago, I finally picked up my first, a Edwin Jagger DE89L, got a sampler pack of blades, and I'm never looking back! I may have nicked myself a few times while getting the hang of it, but I have so much less irritation and I can get a much closer shave than I ever could before.
I'm still very much a newbie, but I've been learning a ton from all of you as I slowly delve deeper and deeper into making the daily routine more of a hobby and less of a chore. I already have my eye on some new (read: better) brushes and I'm always looking to improve my technique. Thanks for having me here!
