My name's Chris and I'm an addict from Adelaide. I've been wet shaving for about a year and a half and lurking the forums a little longer. Up until now I've resisted joining and interacting for fear of fuelling my addiction, but it's got the better of me.
Anyway, happy to be on board and from what I've read there are plenty of enablers here so I should fit right in.
Cheers.
 
Hi Chris- welcome!
What's currently your favourite soap or cream in your rotation? [emoji4]
 
Welcome Chris. Hope you like it here.
 
Welcome welcome, you won't be able to blame me, I've just sold everything! Though you really need to try occams if you haven't yet
 
HI Chris.
What's your kit consist of ?
Looks like you've already quite an impressive list of gear :)
Oh and welcome :)

Quite a well rounded collection there.
May I suggest looking into a few of the Aussie artisans for soaps/creams and pre/aftershaves ?

And Johnny Goodsir are the three amigos recommended for Aussie artisans.

http://www.johnnygoodsir.com/product/johnny-goodsir-tmbr-aftershave-2/ (There is one for trade here, yet I'm awaiting the seller @stillshunter to either accept or counter my offer, so a good chance it's traded)

First two are members here as you probably figured :)

Avoid Valor (doesn't perform).
 
I second the recommendation for Aussie shaving products- they are equal or better to what you've listed... [emoji6]

Some of this you can get locally, but the North American Artisan AS you can't. How did you get it here in Aus? Is there a secret method you can share with us? [emoji4]

I wish there was a secret method, but no, just fortunate to have a friend who was kind enough to bring some back for me while traveling overseas.
 
Hi mate
