I have been a bit passive myself with contributing to this group (besides providing my SSSR). One of the goals of this group is to discuss things that we know affect the shave despite sticking to the same routine. As we do not change our routine we better notice what improves our shaves.What are we going to do in this group?
One thing that was a game changer for me was supplementing with magnesium. I suffer from IBD (not to be confused with IBS) and because of IBD I do not absorb nutrition in the same way as other. My beard became so coarse that even Feather struggled to give one single shave. After beginning magnesium supplements most blade would work again and I settled on Sputnik.
I fully believe there are factors of our daily life that affects our shaving result. Besides daily life factors, we could also discuss techniques. As all hardware and software stay the same we will notice when a technique improves our shaves. For example "Gillette Slide technique", skin stretching, warm/cold shaving etc. If we would switch gear every shave we would not know if it made a difference or not.
