Day 2:
I went for the entire face and neck today. It isn't necessarily as good of a shave as I did yesterday, but I had the confidence to expand my area. Weakest part continues to by my lather. I can make plenty of it, but it is thin and dries out quite quickly. I did find that a soft touch in the bowl tended to make a lather more like what I have seen in videos before, but the fullness is still not there. Practice makes perfect, I suppose. Ironically, most of the few places that I managed to nick today were leftover nicks from my Gillette. That thing still manages to cause me pain, well after I decided to quit it. Does anyone have some insight into the lathering business? Mine is going on so thin that it is dry in four minutes, before I can even get to where I applied it.
We'll try again tomorrow
