After 100 newbie shaves -my first BBS shave!!

[EmptyCup]

Hi emptycup,
Hey don,t get the wrong idea -not all my shaves are BBS!!
Today i cut myself twice -so don,t think i,ve got it down yet .
My shaves have been improving alot recently with the ATG pass doing most of the improvement + getting the hang of shaving my chin has also greatly helped.
If your having difficulties just have faith in your ability to improve .It will come - there were times when i almost gave up after cutting myself quite badly ,but each time I drew back - got the DE out (Parker -Butterfly) and finished the shave.( It was quite some time before my str8 shaves were anything like as smooth as the DE).
Determination is a great weapon!! -Use it!!
Kind regards
Noggs

Appreciate the words of encouragement.
Trust me when I say that I am not discouraged in the least. I have never really tried to do BBS. I suppose I am easing into it by working on my technique ( prep / stropping / lather ... ). The beauty is : every day you get to try all over again ! Oh, determination is part of my arsenal also, and believe me I use it !!

Congrats! There really is no other way of shaving thats as fun or as satisfying. Or frankly, delivers better results!

Its a really great feeling when it all comes together.
