Thread: Got the hang of it! Again!

Or a reflection on incremental improvement..

This isn't so much a "i had a really great shave today, I've got the hang of this" post, I just got thinking today, it really does take time.

At the minute I'm shaving everyday three passes and am definitely enjoying the experience, but i had one of those eureka moments and realised that i have a little one everyday.

Doing this you realise that you do get just a little better each day, today i thought I'm good at this now, but i realised i thought that last week and the week before and the week before that.

It's the little steps, shaving without nicking yourself, getting the hang of the direction of hair growth, figuring out which direction is WTG, XTG and ATG for each part of your face, then figuring out how to shave so you have a bare patch of skin to stretch away from the next part you want to shave, then figuring out how to hold the blade so you can get at the various spots in the direction you want.

todays little victory was figuring how to go XTG on my neck without nicking or contorting madly.

So today i mastered the art. and tomorrow i'll realise that today i was talking rubbish and will get to master the art all over again.

It really is very rewarding.

Cheers for all the pointers and tips, all the videos you guys post and all the ideas you give us newbs so we can enjoy this and get a little better every day
