Thread: 10 major mistakes made by a "greenhorn" in the first 3 months :):)

1. Bought a bunch of zeepk garbage (don't worry. I replaced it with good stuff from the classifieds)
2. Tried to go BBS my first shave and made neckburger
3. Shaved over the neckburger the next day and made neckburger with special sauce
4. Tried to heat up a drug store boar brush by leaving it a scuttle full of boiling water while I took a shower, and got out of the shower to find a brush handle and a soggy mess of loose boar bristles.
5. Broke 2 out of my first 3 ebay trash blades cleaning them up. (one is repairable, but will require a lot of honing)
6. Asked what hones I should start with (NEVER ask what hones to start with as an open ended question. You'll get sea sick trying to follow the responses)
7. Spent more on shaving swag than I could really afford.
8. Got so excited the first time I got the angles 'just right' on my lower neck that I accidentally sliced my throat open so bad that after 10 days, it's still healing and will probably leave a scar.
9. Spent WAY too long looking at the classified ads.
10. Shaved way too far into my beard, because a well honed straight doesn't stop at a bear line like a disposable does, and ended up looking like I was going for a line bear that was about an inch too low.
