Shaving --it's a multi-pass thing.
There are things you can read that don't strike a chord until you have a few shaves under your belt. To veterans it's obvious but to a rookie like myself, the concept of not trying to remove all stubble with one pass and being content to move on to the next pass is one of those pivotal "ah hah" moments. My shaves are much better with little razor burn (not hacking on one spot helps) and it's less stressful to know "I'll get that on the next pass". So, from one one greenhorn to the next, "shaving --it's a multi-pass thing."
P.S. I realize some of the more experienced shavers can get good results with one pass, but that's another story.
