Shaving: The New Old Way

My new shaving equipment arrived today. Maybe I should explain…a while ago I read an article about the classic wet shaving style. This is the old time method of shaving with a safety or straight razer, and shaving soap or cream applied with a shaving brush. This is most likely the method of shaving your grandfather used, I know my Grandfather did. The article explained the method and procedures behind wet shaving along with the benefits. One benefit that I am greatly looking forward to is less irritation, especially along my neck. Another benefit is that the use of the brush helps to remove dead skin before shaving. To help me revive this lost form of shaving I had ordered a few things from Amazon via Perfect Beauty:

Merkur Long Handled Safety RazorOmega Stripey Badger Hair Shaving BrushOmega Shaving SoapDouble Edge Razor Blades

For the first time; I am actually looking forward to shaving.
