Have been just about perfect! My 7th, and 8th shaves, respectively. I've been using the old Henry Sears and Son razor I bought from Whipped Dog and it works amazingly. Of course, the shaves aren't BBS yet, but no cuts, nothing close to any cuts, no razor burn, and a pretty good feeling face. I haven't even used any aftershave yet, but because I only wear cologne when I'm looking nice, I think I'll start with some aftershave soon. Any suggestions?
