I just had my 1st DE shave today thanks to my boyfriend who got me my own kit for Christmas:

Weishi w/ Dorco blades
Delong Boar Brush
TSD Blueberry Shave Soap

I don't think I've gotten used to holding the Weishi properly yet. It seemed just a little too gentle. Also, my lather was a little bit runny. I still need to perfect my water-to-soap ratio with the new soap. All in all, not a bad shave for my first try with a DE considering I was using all new items.

Congratulations!

Welcome to the great world of wet shaving. Sounds like you had a typical Newbie shave. Don't get discouraged, it gets a whole lot better. Your BF has started you out right, all good equipment. If you have any questions, this is the place.

Again. Welcome aboard!!

• Merkur 38C with IP
• Shavemac Custom Silvertip
• SCS Bulgarian Rose Cream
• Sharps Aftershave Balm (alcohol free)

The SCS shave was so good this morning I didn't feel the need to splash on the Velva.
