Friday morning I was running a bit behind so I didn't shave. I worked outside today so I took a shower and shave a few minutes ago. I normally use Derby blades or Peronna Reds, I have been using TSD soap. I have been unhappy with the TSD soap because I thought is was very lacking in lubrication. I have gotten some advice that TSD soap needs a bit more water than I am use to using. My wife shaved last night and I made her lather with her TSD and used more water than normal. It came out 10x better than before. So tonight I made some TSD lather and it came out great. ALSO I used a Feather blade for the first time. So it was a Merkur HD, Feather blade, and TSD Tea Tree soap.... This made for the absolute BEST, closest, and most comfortable shave of my LIFE!!!! Thank you TSD for all the advice, direction, and the soap! ::happy108
Sometimes I get the best shaves after I take 1 or 2 days off, a little more growth seems to help for some reason and the extra healing time for the face helps a lot.
Sometimes I don't even have to skip a whole day... just if you usually shave in the morning then skip the morning shave and wait till the end of the day.
Isn't that what makes this whole wetshaving thing worth it? Betcha that isn't nearly the only time you'll post your "best shave ever", either; they just keep coming!
I actually will shave with a very mild razor when i really do not need to sometimes. Just so I can shave.. can I get an AMEN?
