About a month in... Breakthrough today! :)
So last time I got a nick under my lower lip. Came to realize, I didn't strop before that last shave! So today I took extra care. And the results!? AWESOME!
I did 3 passes today with a day's worth of growth on my face. Got the closest shave I'd had thus far! And I ALMOST went for a 4th pass, it felt so comfortable and relaxing!
But... I stopped after the third pass. Really, I'm not about to go ATG, so this was good enough. Can't wait to shave again tomorrow!
- Stropped 40 times on webbing then on leather.
- Showered with hot water (of course) and washed face with shaving cream.
- At the mirror, spread the shaving cream on my face, then used my brush to lather it up.
- Proceed with shave. LIGHT touch.
- Chin: the new part... went diagonally and that worked our GREAT!
- Neck: Stuck with the direction of grain grown first pass... then agains on third pass.
Okay, so I know I have to keep being careful. But things went SO smoothly this morning, I know it must get better and better!
