Have you begun to notice how stubbly everybody else is?
And other new things you've noticed since you started _shaving_ your face with a SR or even DE?
I never really knew how to shave before-been hacking whiskers off for most of 30 years. Never understood about multi-passes and grain directions, or even making a nice foam. For 30 years I'd been using soapy water/canned goo and dragging a whatever-plastic-thingy across my face. No one "taught us" to shave because they didn't have to. Nicks, razorburn, aftershave? Never had any idea 'bout those things all these years. Burned my face with my first DE shave. none-since.
Now I know, 30 days into DE shaving , that i never knew diddle about shaving. Now my face is as clean if not cleaner the _day after_ a good shave than it ever was in the plastic years. Noticed most every other man i see has 1-3 day old stubble, just like i used to (i can't wait to shave each day now). Have one pal going down the path with me, and I'm offering loaner DE's, of the least aggressive sort, to my bros who want to learn.
I'm of the generation that saw Dad use a DE, but then things changed before our faces grew fuzz.
Knowing what I do now, I'm sure i could go back and do a better shaving job with a disposable, BUT THAT I much prefer the DE and i've _disposed_ of that way of life for good.
I even touched the SR to my face this morning. It works fine, but I have to get a strop before i start really working with it. Was cleaning up the SR to sell it, but well, here we go! It's going to be reserved for weekend/slow-day learning sessions. I'm still learning lots.
Know one older fellow who still uses his 30's ish-injector type razor. I have one of those too (came in a mixed bag of DE's), but no blades (yet).
