Two weeks into my journey down the road to SR shaving, I'm really starting to see a massive improvement with my shavette, and can't wait to start with a true SR. Of course, it's had it's ups and downs, and I've learnt the hard way that shaving whilst hungover is not a good idea...I received a lot of comments as to what I'd done to cut my face in the way I had... I feel I reached my first milestone today - a complete WTG shave with no nicks or cuts, and a very close shave on my cheeks to go with it! I even decided to go for a second pass, which was a combination of XTG and ATG, with only the one nick. As well as this I even managed my best lather to date.

I'm still really struggling to get as good a shave on my neck and chin area. I'm doing everything I've read/seen on the forum and Lynn's youtube channel, but I can't seem to get it right (although whilst it feels bad compared to my cheeks, the mirror tells me it's infinitely better than my old cartridge was). Is it just a case of continued practice and trying out different things until I find something that works?

Also, on my XTG/ATG pass, I found that I didn't have a good feel for the angle and pressure of the razor in my left hand on my neck, so had to use my right hand instead. Is this something other people find they have to do, or will continued use of my left hand give me the confidence to be able to use it ATG on my neck as well?
