Thread: My eyes have been opened

Well got my new DE razor in the mail today and was like a kid on Christmas waiting all day to come home and try it out.

Got home and took a nice long hot shower to soften things up a little like suggested then took the new blade for a test run.. WOW my face has not been this smooth since I was 8yrs old. I will never be standing in the cartridge isle again throwing my money away. I really cant wait until sunday to try the SR for the first time. I plan to DE during the week and save a nice SR shave for sunday mornings when I can take my time until I really get the hang of it.

So I have a question,

I know between re lathering do you re wet the face each time ? I did and it was messy but seemed to work good, if so does anyone keep two brushes going ? One to wet and one to apply cream ?


Thanks,

Brian

Well done,

I just splash a little water on my face with my hands when I re lather between passes, but try a brush, why not, whatever works is good.

I generally just wet the tips of the bristles of my brush if I need to wet the lather a bit, otherwise I just apply lather straight onto my face from the brush.

You should have enough water with the lather on your brush to keep going. Sometimes I do like Ed and dip tip and maybe hit the puck before I go back. Too much water though and you kill the lather. You'll figure it out and what works for you may be different.
