Both of us need more practice with this razor, I guess. Smoothness will likely kick in in course of time, once the necessary shaving technique has been established. Mine isn't though the debut shave has been a good one.First impressions - the shavette blade still feels like using a DE blade and didn't have a smooth feel. Obviously I need to try this again.
I watched some tutorials on the 'tube, everyone recommended not to start with a complete shave but to start with the wtg pass on the cheeks for a couple of weeks only and then add the neck area only later. I'll likely follow the advice and intend to do the clean up passes / passes on the neck with a regular DE.
Have a great day!
