So true, actually look at which way it grows, don’t just assume.
I changed 2 years ago and loved it - I actually began looking forward to shaving again?!
I started with a merkur 23C with persona blades which was a great starter. When I was confident I wasn’t going back I splashed out on a Feather AS-D2 with feather blades which was incredible - both aggressive and mild at the same time.
For brushes, the Muhle synthetic silver tip heads are excellent, very soft but good lather and won’t shed or go mouldy.
Trumper and Harris probably my most used shaving cream brands, favourite is musgo real Oak Moss but expensive as only comes in a little tube.
I was given a moss scuttle shaving bowl one Christmas and that’s great. Don’t expect it to keep the lather hot hot, but it’s definitely warm and a shock when I go back to the travel bowl.
I’m not really surprised there’s so many DE fans on this forum, it kinda makes sense
