It all takes time,before you know it, it becomes something you never even think about.
At times when you are maybe 6 mos in,you will get a perfect, bloodless BBS shave, you may ponder why (you did because you have learned).
The day will come when the mechanics of the shave become boring,you have become adept at the art.
At that point you are really in deep Chit:) my friend,because your mind starts thinking about hones,Strops,Diamond sprays,CBN, the latest and the greatest stuff you must have,At that point you are screwed:) have a nice day
