Been a lurker here for quite a while but wanted to finally post with a good progress report.

So I've been at this for about 2 months and I *think* I'm finally starting to get some consistency and I'm much more relaxed with the blade. Feels like such a victory to just be able to do a 2-pass shave with my TI blade and not end up with a cut where I touched the blade to my face at the wrong angle.

A question for the pros: I've been experimenting with using pre-shave oil and I don't seem to get as close of a shave when I use it (I only use a few drops). Anybody else seen this?

Thanks to all the great postings from the members - you've been a huge help.
