just had my 1st shave

well guys i just had my 1st shave,
im considering it a great success, i started out very slow and almost no pressure and there was some pulling but after a while i found a stride and it went well after that. I had to fishing bellow my nose and bellow my lip with my other razor but for the rest it was very nice and clean no blood spilled today :-) for today i only went from up to down and not bottom up but tomorrow i may try it out after.

Also getting a good foam has its own learning curve, at first it was too watery but by the end i had a nice foam.

Congrats. I find if I hold my hand out, karate chop style, thumb up, and build a lather on my hand that the exact amount of excess water will run out of the brush and down my palm. A perfect lather to water ratio will remain in the brush and on my hand.

Strong work friend! Ask questions, and watch all the videos. You will learn a ton here. The seniors are a wealth of information, and very willing to pass it out. Also watch some of the mantic59 videos on You Tube. He has tons of wet shaving info, and some great ones on creating lather. He doesn't shave with a straight though. Have fun, and take it slow!
