New member here. Started two months ago. Reading here has been very helpfull.
After buying and trying razors, soaps and blades I read about here, I decided it was time to restart my voyage and approaching things in a more methodical way. Reaon: a disappointing shave with my DLC Yaqi, a Bic blade and first use of Plague Doctor soap. I thought it could be the soap, because the Yaqi and Bic performed very good on previous shaves.
It took me two days to decide and choose between 8 razors, 7 blades and 5 soaps I purchased after reading your suggestions and reviews.
Today I decided to start with the Rapira razor with the Rapira SS and the Fine Snakebite soap. This soap has giving me a nice to great shave, every time, head and beard.
I had not used the Rapiras before. My first shave has been satisfactory, slightly above average. The blade and razor pulled a bit, but no irritation or other skin damage. I rate this shave 7 on a scale to 10.
Looking forward to more tips and advise
