So I've been a lurking, non-posting member for almost a month now. Around that time, my brother (a relatively newbie himself) gave me a kit as a going away present (moving to "Middle America" = Kansas), and he directed me to this forum.

Anyway, I had a shave tonight that I am proud of (even though the lather was some of my worst), and I know that good shave is all thanks to the wisdom I have found in this forum. So thanks. I know it was probably a fluke tonight, but it is amazing how little positive reinforcement one needs to keep trying something.
