Maybe I'd wait 'til Sunday...You will sure enjoy that shave...Something to be said about 1 day growth

Thank you! I expect a hard time shaving with such little growth. I havent given up on the Othello. I usually will give my self a couple days growth on a new razor. I just couldnt wait to shave.
Love it when i have 3-4 days of growth. Get the closest shaves then. I was just seeing how people shave everyday and figured i would try.

L'Occitane Cade Soap/Balm
Ogallala Bay Rum

I hear that. I tried a shave 2 days, then 3 days and both weren't as good as a once a week shave. I'll keep experimenting to find the happy medium.
But I must be getting better because both times during the shave I didn't think it was going well, but afterwards when I unconsciously touch my face, I'm surprised how much better I did than I thought.

Wowww...first and foremost, I must say that you've got a very nice Fili . You inspired me to want to shave with one of mine soon.

Second...once a week shave? That must be torture to wait for the next shave . You don't turn into Grizzly Adams with 1 shave/week?
