Thread: OMG What a Shave Newbie

I got my second shave in with my old Gillette. It is just great. My muscle memory is not yet where I need it.
I caught myself putting pressure and hacking away like I did with the disposable. It was in the first couple strokes and I'm lucky I didn't fillet my face.
I lightened my touch and what a shave.

I got my Genco Henry's in yesterday and I am going to try the str8 on my dominant side today.
I read the post for first timers and I am going to take Lynn's advise.

It indeed gets better with practice. Let the razor glide don't press down. I found each time I shaved with a DE I was better at it.
