*Please feel free to give me your opinions*
Here is my noob/newby, self improvement, shave plan;

1) Purchase my first inexpensive shaving soap -w- shave bowl. (Done)
2) Purchase my first inexpensive Boars Hair shave brush. (Done)
3) Learn to master the art of a proper lather. (Off to a good start I think)

For now I will be using up the rest of my disposable razors until they run out as I slowly but surely try to master a proper lather.


-By the end of this year-

4) Purchase a good quality double edge razor; Probably a 'Merkur Vision Adjustable' for Christmas. (Pending)
5) Purchase a good quality Badger Hair shave brush. (Pending)
6) Purchase a better quality shave soap. (Pending)

I plan to use the double edge razor for around 6 months until my birthday in June. My goal is to master the lather and the double edge razor first and then to 'gradually' work my way up to a straight razor.


-My birthday in June-

7) Purchase my first good quality straight razor; Probably a 'Dovo Classic 6/8 "professionally honed" straight razor. (Pending)
8) Purchase a good quality Strop. (Pending)

9) Try not to injure myself. (Crossing my fingers)
