A four pass shave, not unpleasant and I had a pretty good shave. Not BBS by any means, in fact I am a bit disappointed in my neck but I would have to say I had a better shave than I did the first 20 times i tried a straight razor (bet a few of you remember that terrified noob that made a vid).
I spent longer than usual on the cleanup but if I don't shave tomorrow I doubt anyone would notice eh.
I am so happy, I think I succeeded, I just hope it wasn't more luck than judgment.
So, guys - I thinks I'm ready for 4K, I haven't stropped the 1K after setting the bevel or after shaving because I wasn't sure if I should.
OK, 4K. How should I approach that one, do I want slurry, do I want torque, should I use the same strokes I used to set the bevel or are there gentler ones I should use?
Thank you for helping to make this journey as painless as possible, I know there's a long way to go but I don't care - I had a good shave with a 1K :beer2:
