Nice to get back to a ‘top-tier’ blade (Personna lab) after dallying with the ’competition!’

What did you learn from your last shave?

I've often combined an ATG pass with an XTG on a 24-hour beard. Today I found it works well on a 48-hour beard as well.

When breaking in a natural hair boar or Badger shave brush it is better to learn how to do it properly than thinking you know how to break it in. Lots of good information online and in the B&B forum.
Sometimes it's time to abandon the light touch with my GEM Micro SE and just start a plowin'
Slim at setting 4 was a nice shave. Time to bump it up to 5. It’s like taking the training wheels off...or at least one of them!
Take your time. Thats what i learned. Again.
That no matter how much I try I still can't use a blade more than once and get a close enough shave.
if in a hurry: Tabac+nacet
MdC loves to be face lathered.
Feather AC ProGuard blades are wickedly sharp. Today was my 5th shave with this blade (3 passes each) and the blade is still amazingly sharp and smooth. I am amazed to see the sharpness after the 5th shave and it's still going strong !
I gave the required respect to the blade and had an amazingly close and irritation free BBS !
I think I can easily get 5-6 more shaves from this blade !

That I don't need any more hardware! Chucked a blade in my oldest razor, a short handled Progress, and had a sublime shave.
I've got plenty of software, so this year should really be spent working down my stash.

I learned that I waited too long to try SE razors. The last 6 shaves have been with the Sabre (GEM PTFE blade) and Vector (Kai ProTouch MG blade) and they are so smooth, zero irritation and great results.
I’m not a fan of the Cella All’Aloe Vera shave cream.
That with the proper razor and blade combination, a cold water shave can make a difference in preventing irritation in the neck area.
Too early to tell...but both are fantastic and I’ll keep forever.
Very different shaves with both: the Sabre is like a big old Lincoln or Cadillac, just a smooth and enjoyable ride, soaking up the whisker highway. The Vector, while still smooth is light and maneuverable, flickable like a Lotus or Super Seven. Zipping around the curves of my face and laying waste to stubble.
Channeling The B&B Way...get both!
That Barbasol is better than adequate and in fact awesome, if used properly with a milder razor and efficient blade of course.
Unlike my experience with cart shaving in the '80s and '90s, when I had *no* technique at all and half the time ended up nicking myself, today I found that shaving before my shower works very well.
That I just don’t have the skills to make a Feather blade go more than 30 shaves.
That I enjoy AC style razors with my razorock hawk v3
