Hi cudarunner! Thanks for support. Yes I think its recommended to start with smaller steps and progress gradually instead of proceeding to whole shave straight away. I have a kind of either or -attitude, either I go all in or don't do anything . I think this decreases the learning curve in timewise, at least yesterday I managed to remove again everything with great results and in about 1hr.

I actually notice that the straight razor shave is better, because I could skip a day off from shaving because there isn't that much to shave (compared to disposables Gillettes). Nevertheless I usually want to feel the smooth skin by my hand and shave anyway .
