Ive Seen the light!

Wow! Just had my first BBS shave today. I didnt think it would be possible for me due to my sensitive neck, but I did it. I did 2 passes and some blade buffing and J-hooking and to my amazement its was the best shave yet. I have been at it for about 4 monthes and have tried about 10 razors, 8 soaps, 4 creams and probably 6 different aftershaves and balms, and it all came together today. I can usually get a DFS but always some little stubble on my lower neck. I would say todays results are due to the many, many, many hours spent on here reading and researching and taking the time to learn because I truly enjoy shaving now. Thanks for the help!!

Setup was:

Merkur classic with red IP
Mama Bears Toasted Coconut soap
Omega boar brush
Thayers superhazel
Proraso ASB
