    Default Not So Great!

    A few minutes ago was my first shave. Not so good, hope to he** it gets better
    I have been preparing for two weeks. I thought that I was ready.
    Used a Wade & Butcher.
    Soaked the brush in hot water 5 minutes.
    Hit the shower, washed the face with mild soap.
    Put pre-shave oil on my face from "The Art of Shaving" .
    Whipped up some shaving cream in a bowl, "The Art of Shaving"
    The sides and the neck were relatively easy.
    I could only use my dominant hand, right. The left would have sliced me.
    The sides went so well, that I decided on the neck. It went o.k.
    Instead of stopping, I decided to go for the chin and upper lip
    It was like my face turned on me.
    There was no way those whiskers were going to be cut.

    It was like trying to force my Briggs & Straton push mower through the Amazon Jungle.
    I had to finish the chin and lip with a disposable.

    I feel like I failed.

    I put after shave lotion from The Art of Shaving on my face after the shave, sensitive does not even describe it.

    The shaving creme did spread evenly, but looked thin. It was not thick like I have seen on the videos.

    I will take any help, jokes, or feed back you have. How do I beat the chin and lip area??
