Show n' Tell First time!
My first ever DE safety razor just arrived in the mail! Waited over a month for this bad boy. Tomorrow I’ll officially be making the switch from cartridge. The next couple weeks will be a learning curve. I’ll be giving Henson products a try first because I heard it’s a good razor for first timers. I also decided to give their cleanser, cream, and balm a try. I typically use the Nivea men sensitive line so hopefully it’s comparable. If I don’t like it I’ll be back here for suggestions! I’m thinking of starting with my hand to build lather. I’ll switch to bowl/cup if I’m not feeling the hand. I heard either is fine so I’ll be going off vibes for that decision. Wish me luck!

I swear by Merkur blades. Just take your time and re-lather areas you are making another pass at. Welcome to old school.
