Hey, is this where all the newbies are? I just did my first shave last night. Not bad, only one nick under my nose. overall pretty smooth once I got the angle right. I only did with the grade since I get ingrown hairs easily but for a first shave I would say it was a good one! Good luck to the rest of the newbies. I haven't stropped with newspaper, I do the canvas and leather and do about 40 passes on each side.

Congrats on your straight shave mate! You could include newspaper stropping in your routine but canvas/leather is enough!
So might not sing loudly but she got guts!
I tried those new passes this morning. I can get something that's very close with the DE but nothing as close as BBS.
I'm having problems doing a different angle than up or down at the base of my neck under the ears. I tried using my left on the right side, right on the right, nah, doesn't feel natural and easy.
I used 'The Pratical' this morning. I have a BBS shave on the cheeks, chin and under the nose but not the neck. It looks all right but I will still need to work on it or maybe do a 4th pass on the neck only...
I will think about it on how I could do my passes on the neck...
Overall, from shave 1 to 23, it's been a great journey. Thanks again for all the knowledge Gents!
I still have trouble with my neck as well, the best thing for me so far is a japanese style grip for my S-N pass.
