I did a 2+ pass with an old Wosty near wedge the other day and it lasted almost 3 days, compared to my other razors which are good for 2.
Now I gotta hone up another of my old Sheffields to see if I can get the same result.

Actually I have a pretty decent beard. Currently just shaving the cheeks and neck.
Oh, and I have a Granddaughter almost 15 years old.

Showing off things you are genuinely proud to have is not a bad thing IMO. It is just that, pride.
Now as to the shave, I go with 2 passes usually WTG and hybrid XTG unless it's an important event or date night with the misses.
Tried a few pre shave oils and dropped them in favour of conditioner on the face in the shower. Works great.
I found those oils made the trimmings stick to the sink wall during shaving much worse than the slight improvement in slide warranted.
Chin/lower lip area is still the area I struggle with re:cat scratch looking nicks, but my new smiling blade really makes that area much easier to work.
Only been about 8 months I've been SR shaving so still taking it cautious, but best shaves of my life were achieved with a single 3" blade..
Cheers.
