A few minutes ago was my first shave. Not so good, hope to he** it gets better:boohoo:
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:idea:
It was like my face turned on me. :mace:
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.:nono:
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.:eek:
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??
