What did you learn from your last shave?

I'm beginning to like the smell of Salter's French Vetiver cream. Quite the turnaround as I have only used it three times and hated the smell at first.
I found out that after I tried Williams again after a long break, I don't like it as much as I thought I did.
I can get some of my best shaves while using my Pal Injectomatic razor. But to succeed, I need a lot of concentration and self control. It's aggressive, but so efficient. I was on my 8th shave on this Chinese Schick blade. Still as good as the 1st shave.
I learned that while cutting my sideburns, I should not drag my shavette across my skin to get a few stray hairs I missed.
I am not a balm guy, I'm a splash man!
I learned that my razor search of 4 years has finally ended… DE89L w/ Feather is the absolute perfect match for me
I've tried probably 15 different types of blades in several different Merkur razors over that timespan. I ordered a EJ DE89L for no real reason, it came with feathers which would kill my face in a Merkur previously. Yesterday's shave was the shave I've been waiting for (patiently might I add)...

After several days of using boar brushes, today when I used a badger brush, the quantity of soap picked upby the badger after same amount of time on soap puck was considerably less. I had a very poorand runny lather to start with. I discarded this lather entirely and again loaded the badger brush for much longer time than I load with a boar brush. The result was very good cushiony and protective lather.
Thing to remember, load the badger more !

That after 3 years of going through several products I find that my beloved Indian shaving creams are still some of the best in the business. What fantastic shaves I've been enjoying with Shashave this last week.
Lucky Tiger AS is great for soothing an irritated neck!
It's been about 3 months since I loaded my merkur 37c. And my technique has improved a lot in those months. I can now get an irritation free DFS including an ATG pass. I was close to selling it, but not anymore.
Use more product!
Truefitt and Hill 1805 cream is worth every penny.
Improve your left-hand skills!
Lather is king
That Derbys can give very smooth and comfortable shaves
That a little bit of shaving butter on the face before using soap gives a very forgiving layer allowing many passes without irritation. Of course you still need to lather before each pass, but at times I can get away with just wetting a small area if I need to hit a few hairs I missed.
Also found out that after a small amount of shave balm helps with some non-shaving related skin rashes.

That after three tries with TOBS that it is not worth the price that I paid for it. 3 tries and 3 of the worst shaves I have had.
