I am new to this forum. The info on the threads is helping me get better with each shave.
Also, and this is meant respectfully, it is really great seeing how other people have issues, get irritation, nicks, can't lather, can't BBS, and all the other problems that can happen with wet shaving.
The reason it is great is it makes me (and probably other newbs) feel better when they have a bright red burning face, droplets of blood all over the floor like a crime scene, AND yet still have a half shaved face with a patchy goatee and a strip of stubble running down the side of one cheek.
What I was wondering is do even experienced shavers have bad days? What qualifies as a bad shave for a shaving legend? And what would you say the reason for the bad day was (i.e. rushing too quickly, dodgy blade, dog knocked your leg and you cut your earlobe off...)?
