Not the thrill, but that swirl! I shaved it off for the first time today. A little patch of skin under my right jaw that always leaves stubble has had me on a path of serious acquisition of razors for the past three years. I've watched videos, I've used different soaps, brushes, learned what 'buffing' means, tried slants, artist club se, gem, and that swirl has always resisted smoothness. Today's shave was an open comb Karve with a plate B. The swirl is gone. Finally. Gone with no irritation or redness. I have an e plate SB on the way to push the limits, and will probably explore the more aggressive OC plates as well. Thanks for all the shaving experiences posted here. They have been very informative.
