Well, I had my first DE shave this morning and am nothing short of impressed with the results.
Notwithstanding the fact that I haven't received any of the brushes or soaps/mugs etc that I had ordered yet and I had to "make do" with some girly Aveeno leg shaving cream my gf has, I wanted to see if I had what it takes.
I slapped in an Astra platinum into my black handled super speed and got a slightly better/closer shave than I'm accustomed to. I need to be a little more aggressive with my angle, but aside from that I got a really good and close shave without any nicks, cuts, or razor burn. I even did a three pass shave, wtg, xtg, atg.
I guess I mostly attribute that to the fact that I haven't used more than 2 bladed (mostly single blade "bic style") razor for over 5 years.
I think I'm a natural. With some real shaving soap and a real lather with a real brush, and a slight angle adjustment I'll have baby butt smooth shaves in no time. I'm a convert for sure.
