I'm about half way there (well, a quarter) since I have been collecting and using DE's and SE's for years, so my lather making and prep is pretty good. But yeah, the actual shaving part is a whole new story. I'll get it. I just have to remind myself that it took me a little while to get a BBS shave with a vintage safety razor and that is easier than this. I just have to go slow and be patient.
