    Default Aha! Finally...

    Today I had a really close shave cheeks and neck, upper lip and lower middle lip pretty close, and when I splashed on the aftershave I felt... nothing!

    My point, fellow beginners - and I started back in February - is that if you stick at it, and follow the great advice you find on these forums, you WILL get there, and it will be great when you do.

    Ahhh... I know exactly how you feel.

    The best part is that it just gets better and better.

    Reading your post reminds me of the first time I used the aluminum block and felt almost zero burn and had a silky smooth shave that was like none that I ever had.

    Congrats

    Great job man!!!

    I know how you feel. Every once in a while I get a really close shave!!! Some days are just better than others. And it depends on which razor I happen to use that day. I have noticed I can shave better with some than others. I have 13 in the rotation now, and I've managed a shave on all but 1 of them so far. It's not scheduled for another 4 days, hehehe. I keep notes on which ones I do well with and which ones burn me up really bad. I hope eventually I will be able to shave equally well with all of them!

    Keep it up man, great job!!

    Very nice mile stone you hit there. You need some of those once in a while to keep yourself feeling like you are having progress. Congrats!

    I'm starting to miss the burn. Now all I get is a slight tingle 90% of the time. But congrats man.
    No that pistol isn't the only thing under my kilt, but I can tell you both of them work just fine
