I was going to bring that up, but I'm a nice man. (Which isn't to say you are NOT, Lino ...I missed the weekly Logan(International Airport, Boston)again.
I know what happened. For a few fleeting seconds, your computer told you to avoid typing NO. By the time you sent the post, it said "OK, resume with NO".
I had the exact same revelations, but learned no pressure first (actually I thought I learned it multiple times until I used less and less pressure and finally got there). I learned the importance of proper lather (soap hydration) last. Because I choose a different soap almost every day, I continue to bowl lather exclusively so I can see the lather has gotten just how I want it before applying to my face. (It also allows me to ust the @jtspartan drydock bowl, which gives me great pleasure as well). Not everyone's preferred method, but still is mine. James - I echo Charlie's sentiment. Until I found the 30DC I was really struggling to get good, consistent problem free shaves and was considering going back to carts. A month of focus with the 30DC got me on track, and continued progress ensued for some time. As they say, time takes time. Stick around, give it time, reach out as needed, and don't chase it; I'm certain that routine, close, problem-free shaves will come to you as a result.
Andrew, that's wonderful news on the birth of your second child. I'm praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby.
Sweet photo, Rick. You are making some cool memories with your grand kids. It appears that Jenisis approves of this shave.
