Hi @SmokeyJoe
I would say if you have a a light to medium thickish beard you can use this combo which uses the DE1 Razor as per my video you can maybe even get away using these kits if your beard is just slightly edging on the thickish side by grabbing a pack of Feather blades as they are a more aggressive blade.

Feather Blades-

Alternatively if you have a thicker beard and want to get a safety razor more suited for such you can make up your own "kit".
Blade test pack R89- https://www.bundubeard.co.za/collections/razor-blades/products/test-pack-of-blades-for-safety-razor
Brush (bore) R100- https://www.bundubeard.co.za/collections/shaving-brushes/products/boar-brush
Safety Razor R250- https://www.bundubeard.co.za/collections/safety-razors/products/safety-razor-de2
Soap R95- https://www.bundubeard.co.za/collections/shaving-muti/products/shaving-soap
Bowl R59- https://www.bundubeard.co.za/collec...lathering-bowl-shaving-soap-bowl-green-enamel
Total- R593 + shipping
I went a budget root on the products if you have more cash to splurge there are various other bowls, brushes to choose from.
Hope this helps.

Just had my first wet shave in 45 years! It was a lot less hassle than I imagined and there was a lot less blood than I thought... there was, in fact, no blood... definitely a better shave than the cartridge shave! Great post @Clouds4Days! Bazinga!
I cannot believe that whole pile of goodies was only R395 plus shipping! Plus I was sent a free nail clipper. The personal email afterwards was the cherry on the top! This is the way online sales should be! Jaco is awesome!
Off to buy some more goodies!

New order placed! Bazinga!
That is super Uncle @Rob Fisher , the thought of a Razor Blade on ones face sounds daunting but once you get past that first shave (past that sense of fear) it's all sails away.
Jaco really cares about all his customers doesnt matter what size of order you place from him.
I bother him alot (more than I really should) regarding questions on products and he is always willing to help and guide one in the right direction.
I know sometimes on this post or my videos it may sound as if I'm punting Bundubeard alot but honestly they deserve it, only once you have dealt with them you will understand.
Wow that's some nice goodies incoming Uncle @Rob Fisher . I have been eying out that Frank adjustable razor too.
Looks like a really nice Razor.
Jaco deserves all the punting we are all going to give him! Great service and awesome pricing!
More research done and more crap purchased!
Been wet shaving for about 2 years now and I will never go back to the over priced cartridge system. I get my stock from Sharp Edge in Sandton City. They are a little pricier but keep most well known brands and a variety of blades.

Order placed. Now its the bloody waiting again
50 blades. That would last me 2years.
Lol
Nice Uncle Rob, the Alum stone definitely helps if one has small Nick's (burns a little on application) .
I haven't tried using a pre shave oil yet to see the difference it makes . Definitely something I still need to try .
You got some awesome kit heading your way, cant wait to see it all and hear your feedback on the new Razor.
I went for the starter combo and wooden stand after chatting to Jaco.
What a nice bloke
I've got questions that I don't think should be asked.

Hi @SmokeyJoe hahahaha it really is not that bad but yes hold your Razor at a 30 degree angle.
Also dont apply pressure you gonna just pull the razor over your hairs.
You will feel/hear when its cutting your hairs. and when its not. I had posted a video (think it's on page 2) of a beginners step by step to safty razor shaving.
Finally got over my indecisiveness and ordered the DE2. Birthday is coming up and my wife is happy to have alternative gift ideas now. A Dani 21700 may just be too expensive

Some awesome gear you got incoming @Asterix .
Is this your Birthday present or a pre-birthday present
Cant wait to hear how your first shave goes.
I hear those feather blades are a treat (one of the more sharper blades) for getting a BBS (Baby Butt Smooth) shave.
So maybe start with the Bics or Rockwell first.
Thanks for the advice, @Clouds4Days. This order is a pre- birthday “taster”. If all goes well it gives @BellaBum time to save for a nice adjustable.Some awesome gear you got incoming @Asterix .
