My new shaving "starter kit"

I have been meaning to do this for ages and just before Christmas I finally took the plunge and ordered a “starter kit” from The Traditional Shaving Company.

For many years I have been using Gilette Mach 3 razors and other such things. They’re OK but the cartridges cost a FORTUNE, around £9 for 4 or 5 blades that last a month.

The traditional way of wet shaving is far cheaper. Each blade costs 10-20p! It’s also supposed to be a lot better for your face. You can get a much closer shave and after some time, should be able to do away with razor/shaving burn.

I have been watching some videos on Youtube about “how to” shave properly using these kinds of razors. It’s not easy, but looks fun!
