    Thank you for the welcome. Patience for me differs according to specific things. For example, I couldn't hold myself from buying a hone simply because I had the money and didn't want it to go away on something else. BUT I won't be using that hone any time soon unless I can get a hold of a cheap razor, I might go with the unrecommended razors on SRP to start learning on. After all, I don't want to mess up a lovely blade.

    Shaves are becoming better, more comfortable when it comes to WTG and XTG which is what I tried the first time. So better in that matter but I still have problems with ATG at the moment. At this point, I still feel the razor burns after the shave but I get less skin irritation than before and the next day it feels better and better. We'll see in the future if I keep going ATG or if I stop, after all I had to ditch the ATG when it came to DEs and Shavettes because my skin couldn't hold it. Well, we'll see I guess.

    I'm glad to hear you're sticking with it. My first shave with a straight ended, after a harrowing sideburn to jawbone scrape, with me thinking, "People do this?!" I stuck with it, and am happy I did. I'm having a ball. I hope you do, too.

    Cheers,

    Jack

    I do understand that there's a learning curve with everything. I had to learn that, with no help, when it came to the shavette and I already knew that when I bought my razor. The thing is, even though my first experience was painful, my skin felt better after it. I'm there for life

    Thank you

    I just wanted to add that yes lather is becoming better and better, I looked back at youtube tutorials and compared mine with theirs and fixed a lot of mistakes I was doing. Now I get better more consistant lather.
