Tell me it gets better than this. Like the recent thread, I'm in my third week of straight shaving, after using a DB and brush. Now I'm getting up a half hour earlier to shave. I'm going to work with embarassing cuts and nicks. All for a shave that's not as good as I get quicker and more comfortably with my DB. But I'm a hard headed SOB, so I persevere.

I sometimes take a last pass with my DB just to get the closeness I want.

I'm not asking for advice. There's plenty of good advice on this forum, and I've watched videos and read lots. Besides, no one can really help with specifics unless you see me strop and shave. Just please tell me that at some point I'll get a close shave without butchering my face.
