What did you learn from your last shave?

[Guru17]

Why can't I seem to learn that I don't need to go for a BBS?

Okay, let me rephrase that a bit - Why do I have to learn again and again that I don't need to go for a BBS?

That using Noxzema as a pre-shave is amazing. I reapply before each re-lathering and have never gotten better shaves.

That I thought shaving every day hurt me. Well it actually did hurt me with the cartridge razors. But with the DE razors I'm getting great shaves and no irritation shaving daily.

Williams is still terrible

Williams is still terrible

Lol!

 

[JerYnkFan]

That I am really happy to be back to my full shave den and normal water

If there is a zit, no matter how tiny or large steer away from it. Unless you are shaving with a sensor / excel. Slicing that zit open with a Gillette Fatboy on level 9 is likely to send shockwaves from the crown of your head to the tip of your toes,

at this point...feathers are not for me

Pre de Provence is a great shaving soap. Third day in a row. I finished all three shaves with a nice application of PdP balm.

DFS is the way forward for an everyday shave.

Right - now I need to repeat that to myself about 100 times a day after waking up.

It's possible to shave with cold water.

To correct the attack angle of my weber razor, result: Zero Irritation!!

I just recently received a Weber SS and like with all razors, the angle of attack is crucial. Today was my first irritation free shave with the Weber SS.

 

[CommanderBigMac]

Hold the shavette at the correct angle for reasons a) too high an angle (40 degrees+ ) is always painfull. b) too low an angle ( less than 30) is just stupid and you might not even shave like that just scrape of some lather

 

[stovepipe699]

Pre de Provence may not be for me.

That I have never hydrated my soap enough, and that feather blades are not as durable as they are sharp.

 

[Eeyore]

I was stubborn today, and reverted to my old "two passes" habit; one pass down, one pass up.

It does work, but a three pass shave is better. Still, no blood and no irritation. Just not as smooth as a three pass shave.

 

[Eeyore]

That I have never hydrated my soap enough, and that feather blades are not as durable as they are sharp.

Depends ... I get 6 shaves from them ... good enough for me.

The English Bar Handle New is the razor that shaves me the best out of them all.

True that. Now I wait till it clears up

Today I learned to pay attention and not shave when tired if you can help it. I gave myself a small nick right under the Addams apple.
Respect the razor!
