Thread: 3rd Shave was the worst

I'm glad to see your post, I'm at about my fifth shave which was ok, but my fourth was terrible. So I'm not the only one - perhaps newbie overconfidence struck me.

I'm approaching a year and a half since I threw away my mach 3, and I still have my good days and my bad.
for anyone who tells you to shave with a straight only, and not to use your DE
They are giving you bad advice. You can't master straight shaving in a day.
use your straight to get as much as you can comfortably, and finish with your DE, eventually you will not need the DE, but for now, a comfortable enjoyable shave is most important. Use the tool that works best for those difficult areas.
You will learn faster, and develop better techniques this way.
