Hi guys, I'm Stephen and I'm a new wet shaver. I've been at it about a month with varying degrees of acceptable to surprisingly good results with DE shaves. I'm hooked and I know it. I can already hear the voice in the back of my mind whispering "straight razor", but there's that other voice screaming slow your roll.
I'm working through some cream and blade samplers from WCS, and enjoying the process.
Today I learned a valuable lesson, one I feel is worth passing on. If you're going to loosen the head on your razor to rinse things off better after your shave, check the head before each shave. Today I failed to tighten things up. I managed to not butcher my face, but picked up a couple of definitely unnecessary nicks, and generally irritated the hell out of my neck. Moral of the story, do not repeat.
