What did you learn from your last shave?

Yes! With the glowing red skin crowned in missed hairs
Ice cubes in my shave mug water for dipping/getting additional water when face lathering. Feels great and have been going with cold water shaves lately. Seem to get closer shave without going ATG.
That a 72-hour beard provides a very good shave experience. It's not something I'd do during the work week, but it was a fascinating experience.
Refined shea butter; with time to soak into the skin; is a great pre-shave.
I constantly struggle with waiting to shave and wanting to shave. Often want wins so I don’t get as many multi day shaves as I’d like.
The same I learnt from the previous one: not to make pressure, to let only the own weight of the razor to do the job...
Tiger blades are not for me. Should have known after the second try it was unnecessary to give it a third go.

Changed my regular Nivea balm to CeraVe moisturizer(balm + scentless) with Hyaluronic acid added to it works wonders for finishing off a shave. My skin feels very smooth and refreshed and can be used for other problem areas of dryness.
My dorco prime blades work much better than I thought. I love aftershave with menthol. Bootleggers green freeze is so easy to make, it’s amazing stuff!
To always come back at a later date to a razor that didn't work for me.
I came back to the Blackland Blackbird OC plate that was harsh. Well that plate worked out great, I'll keep a BB OC plate on hand.

that Williams is a great soap once you get all of the air bubbles out, and no matter how long whip up a lather for, you need to at least whip up that lather for another 5 minutes. It's also cheap, available all over around me, and has a great scent.
That if the blade feels like it needs a change, it needs a change. Was doing an against the grain pass on my lip, razor was tugging too much, but I stuck with it and drew blood. Just a tiny droplet that took about a minute to stop, but still. This teaches me that not all brands of blades will last as long as others.
Learned I’m definitely not a no-nonsense shaver. The more nonsense, the closer and smoother it gets.

I was reminded that if I'm late and really pressed for time a quick rub of Arko around my wet face provides an excellent slick base for a squirt of Barbasol. A close, clean 2 pass shave in less than 3 minutes. Wouldn't want to do it every day but it's nice to know the option is there when I need it.
It is not beneath me to grab my wife's leg razor in the shower and do a quick touchup on a few missed spots....
Moving my razor intentionally slower let me shave better. Thanks for the tip, @JoWolf !
Some blades may just may not work for me. (Will give this Big Ben another day or two to be 100% sure).
