If you could send a message about what you've learned about wet shaving, to yourself, as you first picked up the practice, what would you say?
Here's mine:
Shave soaps last a lot longer than you imagine. Also, the best scent components do not have an unlimited shelf life. Don't go too nuts buying shave soap.
You will have multiple rounds of thinking you suck at honing a razor, then thinking you are good at it, then realizing that you still suck, just in different ways.
Skin stretching seems silly and stupid, but get over that fast. You need it.
