    Default Progressing, abeit slowly, but progressing.

    Only had the str8 a little over a week and am able to do both sides of the face WTG and ATG. It's surprizing how close that blade will get. No nicks, no cuts, no razor burn, until...I re-lathered and went back over with the fusion "safety" razor and got a nick on my left cheek.

    Didn't seem like the fusion was cutting anything...except me.

    Did my neck a couple of times WTG...think I'll try to progress to ATG next week.

    good job!! sounds like you can throw that fusion in the trash now, but for the price of them you would be better off selling it to a friend

    Gee, I haven't been able to get a close enough shave just doing WTG even with the fancy 4 bladed cartridge razors; alway have to make a ATG pass.

    I must have been doing something wrong the last 35 years or so.
