First full face shave
Hello
I tried shaving with straights twice before today, but I did the "goatee" area with my Extreme3. I know I shouldn't, but these days my face don't seem to remember that I'm an adult now and keeps sending me some dirty acne, even if I wash it twice a day.
Anyway. I stropped my Double Arrow, put some green proraso on my face as a preshave while lathering some TGC Provence Lavender soap. Hot towel, apply lather, and GO.
Two passes with the grain. It went well. Even with my noob skills, my chin is in better shape that with the Schick.
Only 2 small nicks. One in the mustache area, wich I guess can happen the first times, and another one near the sideburn where I just made a bad move and the tip of the rasor got on my cheek. I'm glad it was a round point. But still, these are minor cuts.
I guess I'll keep shaving WTG for the next week and then try accross.
Some spots are quite tricky and I have to say I had to spend some time asking myself "How the hell can I strech my skin to be able to shave that spot?". That's what "learning" is right?
I finished with Nivea products for sensitive skin, both the balm and the moisturizer. Not too expensive and they seem to work for me.
