So, after weeks of waiting for all my supplies to get here as well as reading everything I could about SR shaving, watching Youtube videos, and asking questions on these forums I have finally finished my first ever SR shave.

I started out with a nice hot shower and using conditioner on my whiskers. Once I was done with that I moved onto some Proraso Pre-shave cream and began whipping up some MWF lather. I ended up doing a half in the bowl lather/half on my face until I got what I think was a good lather. I was planning on following the First SR Shave advice on the forums and only do one section but that kind of turned into a whole face deal... From there it turned into two more passes of XTG and ATG...

It was amazing.

The only problems I ran into were finding a good way to hold the razor while working below the jaw line, shaving the chin (of course), and my lather did dry out after a bit but I think I was going way to slowly (or I could have mixed it wrong).

Overall, it was a really satisfying experience and I can't wait until the next time. I probably won't even have to shave tomorrow since I'm smooth as a baby's bottom and my whiskers don't grow that fast.

Thanks to everyone who has answered my questions on here in the past. Yall are the best!
