Been following these boards for a bit now and thought it would be proper to finally say hi and thank everyone for the advice posted throughout these forums.
About me: currently living in Kentucky and returned to using a DE razor after about 40 some years. Learned to shave with a double edge, but moved on to cartridge and disposable razors and soap in a can.
I found this board a few months after my return while trying to learn more about the "hows", "whats and "whys" of shaving. I also had an interest in reducing both blood and skin loss.
What I've learned so far:
Finally, shaving has become more enjoyable for me through this process- it's almost a morning meditation where I stop the outside noise and just focus on me and the moment. Some nights I even drift to sleep thinking about my morning shave- it no longer feels to be a chore.
Again thank you all for the knowledge and advise.

What I've learned so far:
- Shaving is a skill. My technique grows the more I do it.
- It's all about bear reduction - best advise I've gotten here.
- Pay attention, accidents happens when the mind wanders.
- Get the technique down before messing with the equipment
