Introduction
The idea for this blog came from my tattoo removal blog. I don't know how long I'll keep this one or how frequently I'll update it. My thinking was that My Arm Got Hot was to document my tattoo removal experience so that others were undergoing removal could learn from it. I decided this one could be for those considering changing their method of shaving. I will be honest, changing razor is less life changing than getting a tattoo or getting one removed. Still it took me a few weeks to decide on things so I thought I might has well write about it.A caveat, I am going to mention some products in this blog, I am not sponsored in anyway. In the event I do get sponsorship, I will highlight it on the post. The purpose of this blog is not to get sponsorship, it's just to share information and my experiences changing razor. The reason I will mention products is so people can make their own comparisons if they're using or considering similar products.
I have read a few shaving blogs / sites where the guys are really into it, seeing it as a ritual. That is not me, it may become me, but is not me right now. I shave everyday as I like to be clean shaven and I very much see shaving as a chore, something which must be done before work.
I think so far I'm about 3 weeks into shaving with a double edged safety razor. I'm still not sure what I think of it. It's definitely different, takes longer and leaves me prone to cuts. As I mention in my other blog, I had quite a lot (about 24 years) of experience shaving with a disposable razor, using a DE razor is a new, different method of shaving.
