Best tip of the year

[Joedy]

As a newbie, the best tip that I've learned regarding wet shaving with a DE is, "Don't be afraid to try it."

For me it was definately doing a second pass going E-W. I never knew how close my shaves could be until I tried this.

The Lathermeister's 4-Pass System. I may not use it verbatim, but it taught me quite a bit and is the foundation of what I wound up using.

For me its learning the across the grain pass and buying those Derby blades. My shaves are better than ever!

Definitely fidelity. At least as a newbie.

A two-way tie: Coral Skin Food and an electric kettle.

1) swirl in a bowl
2) PRORASO

The best tip? That's easy... NO (or even negative) pressure.
The second best tip? Get rid of as much external noise as possible and listen to your shave.

Best Tip: Start Wetshaving

Second best: Continue Wetshaving
