Couldn't wait for the kids to be in bed and asleep tonight so i could have my shave, it still amazes me how much im looking forward to shaving now days.
Tonight i thought i would try a 3 pass shave for the first time , i have done wtg, xtg and atg separately but not altogether in one shave yet. Now i know its against advice with this being my 7th shave but i wanted to see what results i could get.

On my first pass it all seemed to come together really really good, what i noticed was as well as looking in the mirror and watching what i was doing, i actually started to get/understand the feedback from the blade, It felt really really good.
The second pass xtg also went really well and i thought the feel and the handling of the blade was becoming more second nature.
The third pass atg i went into a bit overconfident because atg i have had no problems with in the past and so far it was my best shave ever. Anyway it initially went well until i got to my jaw line, i then made a stupid mistake and had a little slice, not to be put off i carried on. Had 2 more slice in 20 secs so stopped the shave.

For my post have routine I rinse with cold water, apply Alum when that drys i use Thayes Cucumber witch Hazel followed in about 5 mins with a nivea double action balm which has chamomille in it. Even though all this is real nice I need to tinker with my post shave a bit i think. so any suggestions would be welcome.

Apart from my 3 cuts and having to stop the shave early my technique seems to be getting better ever shave. Im already looking forward to my next shave. Great fun!
