This is where I got mine. Lee's

I hate you all for making me take up another hobby!

And of course, I just placed my order .....

• Proraso After Shave Balm (3.4 oz. Bottle)

• Proraso Eucalyptus Shaving Cream (5 oz Tube)

• Basic Double Edge Razor and Brush Set (includes the Merkur HD, Vulfix 660 Pure Badger brush, metal razor/brush stand, and selection of blades)

Hopefully this will be a good place to start.

This sounds like a very good start.

When you guys get your new Merkurs do yourselves a favor and throw out the one blade that they come packaged with. Merkur Blades are not looked highly upon and the ones that are packaged with the razors are especially bad.

Yeah. Definitely don't use it to shave -- or any Merkur blade, for that matter. I learned the bloody hard way.

I did save the blades and used them for scraping up paint and finishing paint trim.

That's a good place to start! I use the HD, and I really like it. I guess this is a different kind of hill we helped push you down.
