well the day has come. my razor came in today and i was pretty excited... well i was going to the mailbox every single day for the past week like a 5 year old waiting for birthday presents.. and my wife could tell because i never check the mail lol..

just finished my first shave and i must say..... wow... this will take some time to get good at. However aside from butchering my face pretty good for a newcomer i really enjoyed the time to myself. put on some music and went at it the best i could from the past two weeks of researching how to do this. very glad i got it and I'm looking very forward to more shaves to come.

the couple things i did find difficult were 1- getting a good lather on. i think because i was pretty slow at this process it felt like the lather would get dry on my face... any suggestions for this would be greatly appreciated.. I'm also wondering if its because i was too slow. 2- i found going with the grain pretty good seeings how I'm new at this. went pretty smooth however when i went against the grain it was a whole new ballgame.. thats when it got tricky and thats when the cuts began and i found myself with a face on fire lol.. anyway super pumped and super hooked i think. I have to shave every day or at least every other day with my occupation so this will be fun and ill get lots of practice.
