Hi all so I have been reading through the formus and as I have read I have seen different comments that I would think of as Ahh ha moments for different members that eventually lead to my Ahh ha moments. I thought it might be interesting for everyone to talk about their Ahh ha moments and maybe help some people along to their own.

I know I have three big Ahh ha Moments

1. Was definitley learning how to lather properly I think it probally took me a month or two of shaving till I real got this part down and what a difference it made. I wish had taken some of the advice I had seen to take a day and just spending it building lather would of made those first couple months much better. In this part my main moment was learning that just because it looks like it is good lather doesn't mean it is good lather. Learning to build a lather to what I thought was good lather and applying it to my face and waiting a few moments to see if it stayed wet or went dry is when I really started building consitent lather.

2. The second one was realizing just how light of a touch you need with the razor. For the longest time I thought I was using very little pressure and was doing a good job but then one day I wasn't feeling my best but still wanted to shave so I slowed down even more doing my first pass like normal but unlike normal do to my fever I think my face felt a bit raw so on my second pass I really lighten up on the pressure and places I had been fighting with forever to get smooth got smooth. Since then the shaves have gotten smoother and smoother.

3. The third is my most recent and that is the cold water shave I had tried it when I first started shaving but didn't put my full effort into it. So after a week off and no shaving I decided to revist it, my dumb self also did this in the middle of winter. Went from a weeks worth of growth to almost BBS had a few rough spots with no irritation. Also spend up my shave. Repeated it for a week and was hooked haven't turned back since.

So those are mine what are yours?
