Thread: 43 shaves in

Great work, Tyler. Keep it going!
.as a side note, Tyler just had his first shave w/ his first attempt at honing, and gives good reports - way better than any of my first attempts
.
Dervinyard: Thank you!! One of the more gracious threads when I was working hard to learn the shave was one where alot of the old-timers owned up to using something to supplement their str8 shave - be it disposable or DE. I think new guys need the leeway this gives so they don't get discouraged by all the 'success' tales. I appreciate your sharing this.

I've very much w/ Cudarunner on BBS. There probably are guys capable of it regularly, but its not the norm for most of us. Dylan did a good job of bringing perspective to the topic when he tried to distinguish BBS WTG from BBS ATG - the latter being much more illusive. Judgeing BBS by stretching the skin and rubbing against the grain eliminates alot of results claimed to be BBS. I'll be quite happy amongst those just wanting a great shave they enjoy. And like Dervinyard, I'll use more effort for special occaisions - usually involving time w/ the lovely bride.
