    Default Finally an acceptable shave

    So I'm about 8 shaves in and just got my first acceptable shave. Cheeks are BBS, and jawline and neck are nice and close. I even got my chin pretty close this time. I needed about three touch up strokes on my chin with my cartridge which is a huge improvement. I've been having to do an entire pass on my jaw line and neck with the cartridge till now. Btw, the mustache is nice and smooth too.
    A lot of things just came together for me on this shave. I discovered that I really like having the razor completely unfolded out straight (at a 180 degree angle) when I go ATG. This technique worked great for me. I also decided to give my razor 15 laps on the strop between my XTG pass and ATG pass.
    Very happy as I consider this to be a landmark shave.
    Also if any one is interested I used a Dovo Carre, Mama Bears Indian Tobacco, Edwin Jagger Besr Badger, and St. Charles Shave New Spice splash.
    Thanks to everybody who has posted such useful info without whom this awsome journey would be much, much more difficult.
