    G'day from another Melbournian. Make sure you're using a good quality cream or soap. Make sure your razor is sharp. Have a play around with the blade angle because different parts of the face require different angles for different people. Oh, and don't forget the main thing.......enjoy it.

    Welcome to the 'Place'
    My tip ~ Keep the blade as near to flat as possible during the shave.
