    Default 1st Shave baby!!!!

    2 WTG passes on 1 day growth. No nicks no cuts, but no BBS shave as didn't have the "cajones" to go ATG. Bit of a sting when I used the Alum block but nothing too too bad. Got a reasonably good shave out of it and am really excited to use a real blade on the face!!!

    Congrats on the first shave with no cuts. As far as the cojones with the ATG, it's something that will take time. I would suggest to try XTG first so you can get used the different angles, but shaving is different for everyone, you may have better luck at ATG. Just an suggestion.

    Sounds like you're already rockin' and rollin'. Congratulations on the successful shave! You're ready to experiment with the other shave grains. Good luck.

    Congrats on the first shave. I agree, an XTG second pass will give you a better shave and experience to move on to ATG.
    I strop my razor with my eyes closed.

    Welcome aboard! Glad to hear all went well. Don't try to do too much too soon. That's when bad ju-ju happens. I've been SR shaving for about two months and just now am getting comfortable w/ ATG passes.
