A good Monday morning shave. I had shaved only 17 hours earlier, along with a lot weekend sum, so was looking for a mild shave. I received the EJDE89 a few weeks ago from BST, and tried it today for the first time. It was a little more aggressive than I was expecting.​

Well fellas, this is my 3rd official shave with a straight. My 1st was...eh, gotta learn somehow. My 2nd I decided to go for ATG...I know, I'm either brave or stupid. Honestly I think I did better my first attempt at ATG because tonight HURT! I finished with no real wounds but I was definitely skipping the blade and really raking it on the way up and I just couldn't get a good glide. It definitely did not help that my lather got cold and dried out on my face! I was taking way too long and probably shorted the H2O. Can't win em all folks, just gotta hold my chin up and get on with it til I learn.
The best and only real way, the hard way!
