Thread: Irritation / Technique / Razor Sharpness

Andy,
As time goes by your technique will improve without even realizing it. Keep up the good work.

Bit late but Hi and welcome. Just remember comfort over closeness to start. The shaves will get closer as you go.

Another update:

I spent a week doing no ATG. Even though I know I should wait longer and get more experience, I didn't :-) ... but I actually ended up with another great shave. It was somewhere between a DFS and a BBS.

I think all of the advice offered on this thread was very helpful in improving my technique. Also, I think a week off was a help too. For now, I think I can enjoy an ATG shave once in a rare while. Once I get more experience, maybe I can do it more. For now, though, this is very encouraging!
