Hi and welcome aboard

There’s some determination and grit needed to learn correctly. Especially if you’ve got a busy lifestyle. I kept bouncing from my DE to my straight and then back again until one day I vowed I’d only use a straight for a year solid, or grow a beard.

It was the best thing I could’ve done for me to learn. A solid year gave me all the muscle memory I needed to begin really focusing on other things like soap lather, mastering your stone etc., etc.

Glad you’re here - look forward to witnessing your journey. Welcome aboard.
