Thread: 1st complete shave.

Well, after 12 days and 6 shaves, I managed my first complete shave with a straight - 2 passes and no touch-up with the cartridge. Best of all, no blood! The alum block did still sting a wee bit, but no visible nicks. No BBS by any means, but I'm quite happy with the result.

I was starting to worry a little as after my first couple of attempts my face was starting to resemble a butchers block - lots of nicks and lots of blood.

Just need to start working on the ATG now.

Good work. Patience is definitely the key whilst learning

I'd put off the ATG passes until you have a month's worth of shaves for experience. I did and never regretted it.

I wish I had that option but, unfortunately, if I did that I'd look like I haven't shaved at all and I'm far too OCD to let that happen lol

Some balance is needed here, so here we go: Just to be contrary, I quickly dumped the WTG and XTG passes, and my face has been thanking me ever since. They didn't do the job, so why was I doing them? They don't "do" the shave, if what you're looking for is a good job. If they did, everyone would stop there. All they contributed to the shave was blood and abrasion, and I'm better of without them.

Really,,,I'm happy for you.

My WTG passes do very well & give me a great shave. Never needed to do ATG; there's nothing left to cut.
