I'm a big fan of point 9. I took ages for my first couple of shaves and I always had problems with the last couple of passes being very dry compared to the earlier ones.

I got used to refreshing the lather for a time but now I'm a, little, bit better I can manage the whole face either WTG or ATG. Like all skills just practice practice practice seems to be the key.

Well....that and the great advice here and on Lynn's DVD.
