Introduction

Welcome to my ShaveWiki page. My name is James and listed below is almost everything you need to know about me concerning wetshaving.

My Shaving History

I've been wetshaving since approximately May 23, 2011 but I've been using a double-edge razor for much longer. I received my first DE razor, a polished chrome Merkur Futur, for Christmas in 2004. I remember that my dad had a Gillette Super Adjustable and I wanted to try DE shaving too. I had no clue what I was doing when I started and had lots of cuts during my first shaves because I used the razor with Feather blades and had it set at 5 or higher.

There was quite a learning curve for me with the Futur. I thought there was something wrong with my shaving cream, canned Aveeno, so I went to Nordstrom's and got some The Art of Shaving lemon pre-shave oil to make my face more slick. The pre-shave oil helped. I remember that the subsequent shaves were nick-free. However, I was lazy and only used my Futur occasionally for the next six years and during that time, I mainly used Gillette cartridges, the Mach 3 and, later, the Fusion.

It wasn't until May 7, 2011 that I stumbled across Badger & Blade. I had been using my Futur regularly again and wanted to purchase a matching polished chrome stand. I remember that the razor has been purchased at Classic Shaving so I went there first. They didn't sell the stand separately, only as a set with the razor and brush. So I did an internet search and found this wonderful site. I did some quick browsing and saw this PIF. I couldn't believe that people were giving away free stuff to complete strangers over the internet. I registered for an account the same day.

Within a week's time, I came to realize how great a place B&B really is. The members are so helpful and kind with their knowledge and shaving equipment. I've gained tremendous of information being a member of the site and hope that you have too.
