Thanks, tootall!

Fellow wet shaver?! Nice! I got into it a few years back thanks to Badger & Blade and /r/wickededge and haven't looked back.
Yup! Or at least I just use a safety razor to shave rather than the disposable carts. Not sure if that makes me an enthusiast, but I definitely prefer it over the cart options. Not saying they're bad; I still keep a Dorco in the shower for shaving...other areas...besides my face...
But yeah, I've been wanting to try new soaps and tootall was generous enough to send me some samples.

Are you man enough to shave?
Bruh, I made my own brushes! Well, I restored some old EverReady brushes I got from antique stores and eBay. A trio of ER 200's, Green, Butterscotch, and Red.
Green has a Shavemac D01 in it, and the red and scotch have TGN Extra Finest knots. Also have a Wee Scot for traveling.
I went through all the phases of acquisition disorder a few years ago and tried out tons of razors and blades and soaps and AS before finally falling into a small rotation. I mainly use a Gillette New Type Ball End Long Comb from the 30's with Feather blades (I used to have a Fatboy that was my main, but I left it at a hotel) and when I feel like indulging I use a FW Engels Leader straight razor that I restored.
