I've never enjoyed shaving. I've tried various cartridge razors (Gillette Sensor, Mach 3, Fusion, Shick FX, Protector, Quattro, etc.), but I always either end up with a shave that doesn't get close (if I go with the grain) or a shave that irritates my skin and leaves me with ingrown hairs (if I go against the grain). Electric shavers were even worse.

When I was using a razor blade to remove my car registration sticker, it made me wonder why we can get razor blades in supermarkets, yet I'd never seen a proper single blade razor!

I found some interesting videos on YouTube discussing traditional wet shaving and single blade shaving and decided to give it a try.

My first order of shaving gear from the Shaver Shop arrived today. I got a Baden P Morris Safety Razor Set, which is really the Weishi Shaver with some Dorco Platinum ST-300 blades, some Omega shaving soap, and an Omega shaving brush.

I'm looking forward to giving it a shot!
