I just started wetshaving. I was using a merkur hd 34c and I just upgraded to a merkur futur. I use them to shave my head and face. Mind you shaving with a double edge safety razor takes some practice and you have to prepare your face. The initial investment is a little expensive (for me at least,) however the benefits are immense. I was getting nasty neck irritation when I was using the five bladed torture device know as the fusion. I currently use merkur razor blades and I found a diamond in the rough with persona double edged razor blades.
I shave using vanderhagen shaving soap and real shaving, shaving cream with an inexpensive tweezerman badger hair brush. At first I got nicked up on my neck, because I was putting too much pressure on the handle. Here are some links for wetshaving with an old school double edged safety razor. These guys have helped me out a lot. Let me know if their is anything else I can to help.

Shop around to get the best prices for products. Its going to take some extra time to prep but its so worth it. I get a nice shave. The razors themselves are inexpensive. The stainless steel razor handles will last almost forever if you take care of them. They blow away the multiblade torture devices.

Your welcome. I am enjoying the forums. Its nice to hop on a forum where the participants have manners and are helpful. You will love shaving with DE razor once you get your technique down. To be honest my neck got nicked up a lot the first two weeks. I am using an adjustable de razor now and its much better.
