Thread: It finally happened

Congrats man!
I am still working my way toward that objective.
So far, my shaves have been what I would call "Really really good!". Still, I haven't archived the "razor gliding" effect that so many people talks about.
I use a guillotine/slicing movement to get a comfortable shave (No irritation, no pulling, slight tug but I don't get the feeling of "is not cutting the hair, it's ripping it" you get with a dull razor) and I feel happy with it... still looking forward to make it even better but I'm happy ATM; at the risk of being called heretic for making this comparison: My SR shaves feel almost (if not the same) as the ones I have with my Merkur HD safety razor + Derby blades

Compa - if your shaves are matching a safety razor with Derby blades, then you're doing pretty good in my book. One of the best shave of my life was done with a safety razor. Nothing wrong with that, though I do like my straights better.

FWiedner - congrats on the success! May it be the first of many.

Thanx Marshal!
I do feel the shaves are pretty good but sometimes people say I should not compare them since they are different ways to shave.
I started my wetshaving journey as a Safety Razor shaver and I still consider myself a safety razor shaver, but I am happy to have the SR in my inventory and the skills to use them without splitting my face haha. It was a long journey and there is still room for improvement since I still feel a little tug, but yeah shaves are pretty good n___n
