I see there have been several threads to this end, but being a die hard wet shaver of both the double edge safety razor and the venerable straight edge razor I am always open to new methods and techniques, and having such a large contingency from over the pond I would love to learn some tips on shave creams, brush selection, and any other bits shave related that might be new to me.

I know you are out there, so share your memories of your first wet shave, the first time you ran grandpas DE or straight down your face, that "ah-ha" moment when the right blade and razor touched your face, your favorite aftershave or balm....

Interested in getting started wet shaving? Need help? This is the thread for all things wet shaving related!!

So come on in and spin a tale of shaving like your grandfather, or pull up a barbers chair and learn the nearly lost art of a proper wet shave!
