    If it's working for you now, it'll be even better next month. Congrats on getting the hang of it!

    It's great when things start clicking together

    Be warry of that voice in the back of your head (or is that in my head?) telling you to try even more blades for that purfect shave I have a long list of makers and styles I want to try, Nope no RAD in effect here

    Congratulations & well done on sticking with it. If you are struggling again in the future, think back to that breakthrough & remember that it's just a matter of time & persistence.

    Congratulations on staying with it. I was DE shaving for a couple of years and still have a large collection of Gillettes as well as various Slant head razors. My first couple of weeks with a straight I used the DE to finish. Once I got through a complete shave with the straight I haven't shaved with a DE since. I still like my collection but not to shave with. The straights are soooo much better IME.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
