    Default My best full face shave!!!

    I just had to tell the world that I finally, after a year of true practice, shave my full face without any bloodshed! I even managed to out shave my disposable. I took my time, started with the grain, moved to across the grain then ended with against the grain. Wow what a shave. I'm having a pint to celebrate as I type. Cheers mates!!!!

    Congrats! By golly, I think I will crack open a beer to celebrate with you!

    At the moment of this writing, I am 21 shaves into my journey, and get a smooth WTG and XTG pass. Going ATG is still a work in progress, but it will come! Thanks for posting your experience!

    Congrats to you. The shaves continue to get better as you move ahead. I'll have a little scotch in your honor on Friday.

    Dang, I forgot that this required a toast.
    What a great reason for a night cap. I raise my glass of Scotch!

    Did someone say bourbon???

    Anyway, congrats on the milestone. Pretty soon you'll be surprised when you see blood during a shave, instead of being surprised by NOT seeing blood. Take care.
