Hey, thanks for all the encouragement...
Sorry for the delay in responding - I only have time to get on here about once a week...
I've had a few more shaves, and even my first nick today!!
Not a bad one just a bit below my bottom lip.
I'm basically shaving the sideburn area and working on the neck as much as I can - then finishing off with a M3. Today, I got a little adventurous below my bottom lip.
I need to get my lather situation together as well as a decent brush...
I know that there is no one brush or soap that is the end-all-be-all, but surely there is some kind of decent, middle-of-the-road suggestion somebody could make...
Anyhow - I'll just keep on a-tryin and reviewing the DVD.... and trying....
and trying....
