Being a noob, I didn't think I'd ever get one of those close shaves that I've heard about. But last weekend I stumbled across a ball end tech ( I think) gold with a thin handle. A non aggressive razor, paired it with a feather blade, and concentrated on my angles and pressure. Tonight I did my 5th shave with that combo (same blade). WTG, XTG and a touch up. BBS and no nicks or razor burn. I'm in heaven. Now I think I should use this combo at least for a few months to work on my technique and see if I can get these results consistently. I can't wait to shave tomorrow.
Great Success! Expressing the "I can't wait to shave tomorrow." idea is further proof that you're beginning to share our disease. Welcome and as always enjoy!
You know, that blade will dull eventually.......:happy102 Congrats dude, I can't wait until you feel like that everyday!
WOW...................... That's really, really great :happy088 Let the nice BBS shaves come to you, don't try to get to them
Awesome, you've reached the summit I'm jealous! Sounds like your on your way to master level, keep it up.
