Thread: Too many new things...

Some updates:
1. Added a Dovo "Bismark" from SRD. 6/8 hollow. I use it every other shave and really like it better than the 5/8.
2. Swapped Publix brand witch hazel to Dickenson's. I like it a little better. Seems less harsh.
3. Added Burt's Bees Aftershave (see this thread). Seems to have cleared up the dry skin.

Taking all of the above into account, I still think the biggest difference is just practice, and really learning how the hair is growing on my face (especially the neck). I am constantly finding myself using too much pressure and needing to back off.

Great shave this morning btw. Not BBS everywhere, but smooth and with no irritation at all.

Yep - I Steinway grand piano does no good to someone who doesn't practice the piano.

Glad to hear you are making progress. I have to agree on the practice as well. If I'm paying attention, I can still better my technique with each shave (been shaving 5 months). Even after 5 months, pressure is still something I'm trying to better.
