OK. Long time disposable wet shaver. Mostly in the shower with bar soap. No real thought or plan, just getting it done. My main draw to DE shaving was the realization that I have been throwing away plastic razors for 40yrs.
I placed my order for a 34C, some Proraso products, a brush and blades. 1st shave was great. After lurking and reading and watching, I thought it was going to be more difficult. No nicks or weepers at all. I did a WTG pass only. Got a fair shave, all good.
Today was shave #2. Did my prep, loaded a Personna blade and did 3 passes, finishing with ATG. Awesome shave, 3 of the tiniest weepers that were gone by the time I applied AS.
I'm hooked. I'll keep my Harry's around, but I've already offered it to my wife. I'm going to keep it minimalist and use this combo for a year before heading down any rabbit holes. Just play with different blades, work on technique and see how it goes.
I look forward to lurking around and sucking up knowledge.
Although you don't know it, you (this site) have already helped me out a ton, Thanks.
