• Featured Shave of the Day 2011-08-17

    Today was the first day I dared to go ATG with my razor which left me with a DFS shave - far from BBS, but non the less, I am very pleased. The decision was made right after a WTG pass - I was not planning to do ATG pass. I also earned a very first nick for as long as I can remember (I just felt my razor kind of "digged in the skin" and I stopped - upon a closer inspection I saw that the angle was wrong) and this was on the right side of my face on my mandibular arch - ATG on the left side of my face went almost effortlessly. Alum took care of that all right...
    After the shave, I felt like I was in apnea for at least 5 minutes (who knows - maybe I was, I was literally holding my breath during most of the ATG phase ), but as I said before - I am satisfied with my shave.
    Conclusion - I am thousands of light years far from a real straight shave BBS (I lack the technique), but I will not give up (after all, this was my fifth or sixth straight razor shave...)
