2nd SR shave. Better, but far from perfect.

Shaved yesterday for my 2nd time with a SR. I only did one pass WTG and finished up with a DE for a bbs shave. I was able to shave every part of my face (almost) with practically no razor burn or weepers. I got one nick below my nose due to an unsteady hand. My chin is by FAR the hardest part for me to shave.

I do have to say that I've never gotten that close of a shave just going WTG. I'm looking forward to further improving my technique.

A word of advice from a noob to other noobs: SR shaving takes so much concentration that it's easy to overlook things like proper lather and prep. My lather was way too dry on my face and I didn't even notice until the blade started tugging and "skipping" along my skin. Once I spent a little more time making sure my lather was adequate, my shave improved by leaps and bounds.

That sounds like great progress right there:)
The concentration bit is very true, and your comment on the value of a good lather is spot on.

Looks like you'll be doing full straight shaves real soon:)

You're off to a great start. It just keeps on getting better. Enjoy the journey.

I found mapping my face helped a lot. I have trouble around my chin ( but there again I got more chins than a chinese phonebook).

Your well on your way to putting that DE away for good your off to a great start.

I only ever go WTG & XTG I get the same results as i did with a Mach 3

As mentioned your we on the right track keep it up Good luck and most importantly enjoy
