Hello everyone. I’m Pieter from Vaalpark. I really like my shaving rituals and goodies. I don’t own a DE razor, but I do have some Proraso pre-shave cream, shaving cream, aftershave balm and aftershave (the green ones). I also like nice aftershaves and colognes as specially the older types. I love the old school barbershop scents and stuff.

Welcome to the forum. I am sure that in no time you will be trying a D/E razor and then you will be hooked!!

Hi Pieter, welkom by die forum.

I noticed the forum is quite silent lately. It used to be very active forum till a few months ago. Unfortunately I myself is one of those guilty chaps who silently disappeared from the forum. Unfortunately a lot of factors contributed to my absence of which the main one was that my wife and I decided to scale down tremendously. We decided to pursue the "tiny house" lifestyle/dream. No turning back now as our home was sold last week. I realised yesterday that this decision will affect my hoarding of shaving gear, soaps and aftershave tremendously as I will only have one tiny drawer available for my gear. I'll definitely keep you in mind when thinning the herd.

BTW, from which bloodline were you born? I myself is from the bloodline of the last son in the second marriage, Jonathan Fourie (B21) (1738-d)

Welcome Pieter! Wow Bles, Tiny house...you'll have to get a thread going on that. Been keeping an eye on the movement, but not sure if I will ever be able to do that. Congratulations on the sale of the house, not easy in these times.

Welcome to the forum, Pieter.

You should definitely try a DE razor when you can. Blades are super cheap but the rabbit hole is deep!

Welcome Pieter!

Greetings from a cold, wet and windy Scotland.

I started with the real brush and proper shaving soap a few years ago, and it already made a big improvement to my shaving experience.

About two years ago I thought it would be cool to shave like a cowboy, and now I shave daily with a straight razor or a shavette (that's the one with the disposable blades). Absolutely love it and can't wait for the next shave!

I also have two DE razors, I sometimes use them when I am pushed for time.

I am sure you will find your own preference, all I can say is that when you start seeing shaving a a treat rather than a chore it becomes something to look forward to.

Thank you all

Hey there Pieter.
Sorry it took so long for me to welcome you but welcome here! If you need any tips on starting out with a safety razor feel free to drop me a message, i started just over a year ago, and the amount ive learnt in a year is quite astounding.
