Know your own face!

[Edgeof40]

I know this has been covered before but I'm hoping that by posting this in beginners I can help to prevent others making the same mistake that I did.

My mistake, apart from not taking up the straight about twenty five years sooner, was my "I've had this same face for nigh on forty years, of course I know my own face" attitude. Well I knew my face but not my beard growth pattern. Twenty five years with a progression of gillettes from sensor through fusion power meant that I didn't really have to.

So using the tips of your fingers have a really good rummage round your face and really pay attention to the direction that your whiskers are growing. Probably advisable not to be doing this in public though, but before the shave, during the shave and even after the shave keep on searching - there is gold at the end of this rainbow.

Shaving heaven awaits!
