Thread: New Member from New Jersey

Checked luggage, you can usually get away with blades. But many places sell de blades...

Welcome aboard. There's plenty of information here you won't imagine. Great to have you.
Good luck my friend.

Thanks for the welcome... Been reading a great deal and the information is really sinking in...

Where in Jersey are you? I'm not far from New Brunswick.

Making a face map seems crazy when you're first starting, just trying to figure out how to hold this huge blade in order to shave each spot *somehow* let alone in a particular direction. However, that's really the secret to a close shave once you're comfortable with the process overall.

Remember, your shave likely doesn't have to be smooth to the touch, just smooth in appearance.

Edit: You didn't mention that you are stropping between shaves. Are you? It's important to do so to maintain your edge.

Hey, i am based in Jersey City.... Yeah, Stan Wilson actually told me about the facemap... I didnt have the cuts yet but my technique needs a lot of refinement... Perhaps we should catch up some day for meet and greet.... Its always nice to put faces to names
