Enjoy the trip down the rabbit hole.
I went for the whole face myself. I'm only about 30 shaves into the journey but I think I'm doing OK. At least, I'm not embarrassed to go out in public. I'm not yet experimenting with ATG strokes. Taking my time. If I feel I need just a bit closer I usually just get out the Atra.
