Hi everyone,
I am just getting into wet shaving, so I will have some really dumb questions that are of the "why is the sky blue" variety. Please be patient with me.
I bought my first double edge razor last month for about US$4 just to see what it is like. Cartridge shaving it still faster and easier, but there is something very cool and manly and wonderfully traditional about wet shaving that I am really enjoying. Also, some of these razors are gorgeous pieces of engineering. I struggle with the idea of paying $200 for a few, small pieces of stainless steel, but then I am not into cars, so by my mother's logic, I am actually saving money with this particular hobby.
One of my challenges is that I live in Singapore where some of this is so niche that supply is low or non-existent, so I will need to leverage on the BST section. For example, I'm definitely interested in picking up a Blackland Vector, but I can't find anywhere locally that sells artisan club razors, so I may be limited to double edge razors only. First world problems, I know.
Best,
Zhang Doe
