Excellent Shave
Gentlemen and Ladies.
This mornings shave was close to perfect. My face is smooth and feels great, no razor burn. I had plenty of time, lather was nice and creamy, coffee was hot and the Dominica bay rum aftershave lotion stung perfectly after a cold water rinse. Then massaged in some Aubrey Mens Stock balm to moisturize.
Iv'e been at this almost 3 weeks now, still fumble with grips and angle of attack but its coming along and the comfort level is rising. It is pleasurable, restful and satisfying taking the time creating this shaving ritual.

Sounds like the start of a great day! Congrats on your first perfect shave - the feeling of satisfaction you get while splashing on that cold water and aftershave after a great shave is worth all the time, effort, and expense ten fold!

Those standout shaves are what keep me coming back for more!
Most all shaves are at least good. But sometimes it is just at another level, adn I just go "WOW, now that was a nice shave!"

Congratulations!
I'm still improving and not every shave is great, but I occassionally get one where I just say "WOW!" So I know how it feels
. Keep at it and you'll be getting these shaves all the time!

You are doing so much better than I did when I started out that I am a bit jealous.
