What's new

Best shave yet

I'm still a newbie with a grand total of four razors, two soaps and a whole drawer full of different brands of blades. After hanging around a bit I decided to stick with a single razor, blade and soap to build my experience and technique before testing the other options I have. Couldn't do it....just had to try something new after about two weeks. I threw a Shark in my Red Tip, lathered up with my standard soap (VDH puck) and cracked open a new tester AS (Citrus Musk). Wow! Best shave yet....wasn't perfect, had a weepers and still had a tiny strip of stubble under the right chin line but what a great shave. It may not be the best I will ever have and I'm not saying its the perfect combo of equipment, but it was the best I've had yet.
Now that I've satiated the desire to incorporate something new....back to the practice repetitions. I think I'll keep both razors in a rotation just to keep things fresh.

On to the next shave....

I couldn't either. And I didn't last two weeks.
 
I know that feeling all too well. It's small milestones like this that keep us coming back for more. Congrats on your success and may you continue to enjoy the experience!
 
Awesome! Keep it up! I know I had few "accidents" during my 1st and 2nd DE shave that would have caused most to thrown in the towel. But patience and learning from my mistakes have brought about great results and rich rewards! My skin feels GREAT!
