I seem to get a better shave the longer my whiskers grow.
What did you learn from your last shave?

Great soap and sharper blades make a real difference. Shaved with St. Charles Shave Soap obtained from The Second Passaround Box. Also used a Gillette 7:00 Yellow blade (in my Gillette Slim) for the first time. Close shave with virtually no irritation.
I learned I need a more efficient razor my murker 180 just doesnt "cut" it anymore
If I take my time with my new fat boy it won't bite my face nearly as much. I h have shaved twice with it and the first time was nearly my last lol.
Pre shave oil gets a LOT of bad press, which I used to emphathize with until I used it correctly.
A foaming cleanser, followed by shaving oil applied before/during a hot shower (allowing enough time to sink in the skin) is a wonderful prep. I top that with a pre lather that sits on my face while I strop my razor.
Applied underneath a face lathering is actually terrible. The lather is good but the brush suffers.

Life is good.
Ya don't say. Cheers.
Good reminder
I agree with this!
I learned that I SHOULD NOT wait so long between using Cella.
What a NICE product!!!!!

I learned that if I really go for a BBS on my neck during a slow, non-rushed weekend shave, I will still look like I took a random orbital sander to it.
Derby blades (though they have a loose fit in most of my tools, had to use a TTO today to compensate) not as terrible as I thought (though 1 shave in)... can it last all the way to a 3rd day? Could be my short trip travel combo...
That a cheap cart (Personna Caliber 3) works better than a Fusion for me. Not willing to give up DEs ever but now I have a great travel razor that won't break the bank.
Don't know yet. Could be a couple things.
Either, I don't like my 68 British Knack
Or a quick 2 Pass(XTG/ATG) +touch-ups shave is not for me.

The SS Blue Tip truly is a mild shaver; just had to learn this for myself.
I learned that the Astra SP and Cella in my 1940's SS is my favorite combo so far
Take an extra 60 second spin in your shave bowl... It really make the difference in lather production...
Great subject question!
I'm realizing that wetting my Arko stick before application is giving much better results.

There is a fine line between a lather that is too dry and one that is just right. Even just one or two drops of water from the fingertips can get you into that sweet spot. It takes trial and error to successfully find this balance every time.
