Hi all.  I'm Eric from Encinitas, CA (SoCal).   Cool

I discovered wet shaving a few years ago after decades of abuse with the Mach III razors, always leaving my skin inflamed and irritated.  I didn't know what I was missing until I randomly stumbled across a thread on double safety razors.  I'm using a basic Merkur 34C razor and love the TOBS shaving cremes, and Speick after shave.  I also use a bunch of others including Lucky Tiger, D.R. Harris Sandalwood, and Captain's Choice Bay Rum.  I like to try new things and learn more, and look forward to chatting with you all.

Cheers,
Eric

Thank you for the warm welcome, fellas!  
Don't worry, I won't tease any of you about the weather.  It's been pretty crappy here lately, nothing but 70s every day.   Tongue

Enjoy the Forum Eric. That same Merkur 34C and Tobs started me down the path to shaving as a hobbySmile

Thank you, fellas!
I tried a new brush this morning, a Simpson Commodore X3 Best Badger.  First impressions...  I've been using a Badger & Blade Omega Blonde Boar for years and like a stiffer brush, so it took some getting used to the much softer Simpson.  It didn't lather as well as the B&B, but felt good on the face.  I plan to keep it in the rotation and give it some time.
