@PersistentlyBlunt I hear ya on that fun and better
for me its also fun over the time to see I kinda tried enough things and I covered a wide gamut and how I changed some as I went along and what I kinda came back to after trying things I liked it does seem we find that niche we fit in
also I hear some say just stick with one thing and learn it BUT some razors form day to a year later were just not for me and same as the blades or soaps not performing well so the keep using it till you master it idea is not for me and I do think trying things till you find what you like is key and of course we have to get good at technique but IMHO that was very easy and the gear for me is the huge difference and also when I got into this shocked at how much different the gear does make or break the shaves from the brush, soap, blades, razors, prep etc...
for me the mastering was more finding the gear I liked and then dialing that gear in to the most comfy
