I'm not used to forums or this way of shaving so I really appreciate the input and the help Thank you guys

Talk about making a guy feel welcome. This is nice.

Welcome - you're not going to find a finer group of gentlemen anywhere. It always helps to remember that there are real people behind the handles who can really help you get started. In the words of my Patron de Rasage, ENJOY!

I have to shave every day because of my profession so if I can do it and I don't consider myself particularly coordinated or above average you can do it too!

I'll bite, i'm not very keen on the lingo, but what is DFS? I'm racking my brain here, but can't seem to come up with a cool abbreviation.
