But BBS is becoming the norm after a year and a half. Collecting razors and experimenting with a wide variety of products has become a hobby of mine, so learning to use both hands was a labor of love. The only thing that really matters are the results. I think specific instructions are helpful to get you started and after that it's up to you. I saw lots of barbers shave customers in movies but never saw someone actually shaving himself until I saw a YouTube video right before I started. And that guy only did one pass, so there was a lot more to learn. I needed those instructions up front!
I'm glad to hear it took about a year and a half to get it right. I'm still on my first razor but plan on ordering another one in the next few weeks. I'm also really enjoying doing the research / trying new creams, soaps, etc, but definitely gets frustrating when I feel like I'm missing something or doing something completely wrong. It seems like everyone has their own method which is great to hear. I'm definitely not giving up and really appreciate all the feedback/knowledge I've gained from this site. Until the next shave...
