Thanks for the words of encouragement. Yes, there really was a lot of information already on SRP. I actually took the time to read and see the videos. All good stuff. The discourse between Lynn and one of the other members (sorry, I forgot) shed some light for me on the shave angle. I was tracking what Lynn meant by the angle in relation to the skin, but I was way off as to my concept of 30 degrees! Geometry is not my strong suit. Anyway, I feel very fortunate to have found a group of folks who are so supportive and generous with their time and knowledge. A very sincere thanks to all. I actually had a decent comfortable shave this morning which left me a five o'clock shadow, but I'll take it.:)
