Yesterday I did my first xtg pass. It went ok. Today was the second attempt and it was closer, but less comfortable. I got a few little spots of irritation. Pressure on the blade seems to be one of the most problematic issues for me. Gotta learn to be gentle with my poor face.

All in all it's very relaxing and fun to shave this way. I'm glad I took the plunge to get a sr . I'm sure as time wears on the shaves well get closer, more comfortable, and more nick free.

It's a nice way to start the day. Since I started I've progressively gotten up earlier, 45 minutes in all. I'm thinking perhaps a scuttle may be my next investment down the road. We'll see. Big thanks to all for your continued help.
