I am awaiting the arrival of my shave ready razor and strop. From the research I have done I am not expecting my initial attempts to result in the BBS shaves I now get from my DE, and that it is generally inadvisable to even attemp ATG until technique is refined. How about WTG and XTG, then ATG with the DE? My goal has always been to get the closest possible shave comfortably and without too much damage. I amfinally able to achieve fairly consistent results with the DE and am ready for the challenge ot the str8, with the ultimate ggoal being a BBS shave without cheating. So, is there anything wrong with finishing up with a DE?
