Ah so... Like almost everything else to do with SR shaving as I view post after post, it is a matter of preference...Yes? There seems to be no science, rhyme or reason to many things other than the particular user has found that it works for him.

SR shaving has been around for several centuries if not longer. You would think by now there would be some standards by which all all shavers stand by. Yet, it still seems to a newb like me that it is akin the wild wild west where anything goes and there is always one camp or another advocating this or that.

It seems to me that if the splashers, spitzers, soakers, and in between got together, they could come up with a common agreement of the BEST way to proceed. But instead, we newbs are left scratching our heads and sent adrift to our own devices to experiment with the varying opinions.

I love SRP but I have to tell you, as many answers as it gives me, it raises more questions each time I am confronted with an issue. Is it possible that some of the proponents of divergent techniques can get together and come up with a consensus so us newbs are not so whipsawed all the time? Just a thought.
