Please Help

I am really interested to hear from anyone who has tried Method Shaving for at least three weeks in a row.….

I'm not interested in feelings, speculation or comments on Charles Roberts videos or personal technique from non-method shavers, but I am interest to hear how you personally found the system and what in your opinion were, or are, its high points and low points. Are you still shaving using Hydrolast Products today? or have you modified the technique to suit your own shaving needs or are you still an avid Method Shaver?

Or you quit method shaving because you missed regular shaving products or certain razors or for another reason? Did you find "gloss" unnecessary? Any other reasons for quitting?

More about me…..

I personally have been on a shaving voyage for more than a couple of years and have experimented with many different products, techniques, razors and methods.. and I realise one thing; I love a total BSS with no irritation, however a real BSS with no irritation is hard to achieve especially on the upper lip and lower lip for me, with a straight and with a DE. The DFS for me is not good enough anymore.

Its possible I have developed shaving OCD, but for me a true BSS is not feeling stubble anywhere in any direction at all. I can achieve this with regular products and blade buffing but its not always irritation free. All products are not equal it seems.

So I have decided to set out and experiment with Method Shaving and Hydrolast Products for six weeks straight. I will be trying a new product not yet released called Hydrolast Glossing cream as well as the other standard products in the Hydrolast Range. I'm going back to basics and firstly will use the shave cloth, but may move on to the recommended Synthetic brush at a later date If I feel the need, or I miss my brushes but for now I wan't to learn the Method as Charles Roberts teaches it on his website.

I'm initially going to start with a DE to learn the technique but then I plan to use a Straight to see if I can replicate or better the results. I plan to find out if everyday total BSS shaves with no irritation are possible as claimed.

So any help, comments, pointers or guidance will be most welcome.
