I admit I dont have a lot to compare to, but I really like mine.

Well, I guess I'm trying to work on a lot of things all at once. But, I think my overall theme is trying to refine a shaving routine that works for me. Trying to figure out what passes I need to make, which techniques to use, and how to get the best possible results in the allowed time. I guess you could say I'm working on macro shaving.

Of course, I'm a beginner so I'm also working on all the individual pieces of the shave; blade angle, pressure, stroke, stropping, etc. But, I seem to be mostly concerned with fitting all the pieces into an overall framework that is suitable for me.
