3 shaves down. I skipped on Saturday out of laziness. No cuts, no irritation. Getting a smooth shave every time. Still doing 2 WTG and one XTG passes. I'm doing 2 WTG because I sometimes miss a little bit but with the 2nd pass and the ATG I haven't had to touch up anywhere with the cartridge. Not BBS but then I wouldn't expect it to be without ATG. It's closer then a brand new cartridge at this point though. Still waiting on the Dovo but the GD is doing fine. If anything today was smoother then the last 2, maybe due to more stropping, maybe due to better technique.

I read some other people's stories and wonder what they're doing wrong? This isn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. I do have the advantage of having used soap and a brush for years though so I know how to make a wicked lather. I think the main thing is pressure. Don't press the razor into your face and then take your time. The razor just glides over my skin, doesn't even feel close to cutting except on the middle of my neck but tonight I tried pulling the skin to the side and I had no problem there either. I have a goatee and find the straight AMAZING for trimming around the edges. PERFECT straight lines, you literally can pick out one errant hair and lop it off. I don't find the rounded tip to be an impediment there either.

As for RAD, I'm on ebay every day. Haven't bid since that first one I lost but I will when I see the right razor. Or 2. Or more.
