Hey there...

[Jase]

Gotta get my post count up, so hi everyone.

Pretty new to all this, I don't have a lot to shave(full beard, so neck and cheek line) but I do like old school stuff and traditional wet shaving is right up my alley! I'm from Melbourne.

Welcome to P&C @Jase - great to have you here

You could always shave the head - just to get the shave count up

Welcome mate!

if we can put up with straight shavers we can deal with guys having beards I suppose

So what sort of kit do you have anyway?

G'day @Jase welcome to P&C

Hi @Jase, welcome. If you start enjoying traditional wet shaving too much you might loose that beard!

G'Day mate @Jase and welcome to P&C.
Cheers Tony

Started pretty modest with a Merkur 34C and a Frank Shaving mixed badger brush. On the lookout for some more kit, maybe an old Gillete Slim adjustable and something with an open comb?

The beard was never meant to stay for ever but am digging it at the moment

Yes I tend to dive in deep with any new interest! But luckily(or sadly) I have plenty of varied interests to spread my time between and hopefully prevent me getting too far down the hole!

wait till you find pretty things like pre 40's system razors or gillette old types, so very pretty
