I have never flipped the blade, I might flip the razor though, hence the name Double Edge razor. I do remove the blade after each shave, rinse, clean & dry, ready for the next day.
Thanks Gary, Yes it kind of grows on you (and my wife) I was lucky enough to have the Cologne gifted to me recently
Glad you are back safely Joe, nice comeback shave
Wonderful shave Barry
I take it you only use water then? If I were to forgo the preshave and the soaps I would be sure to have a rough time.

Personally I prefer to not have to deal with cuts, scabs and rips. When I started wet shaving (with shaving soap by the way

) I did time myself in the beginning, but that added stress and removed the enjoyment factor. I decided to be kind to myself and ditched the timer.
Nice shave Joe, I have yet to acquire a Fatboy, holding out as long as I can!
Lovely shave Gary
Hear hear Joe, well said. Nevertheless I doubt I will ever graduate to straights
Thank you Joe
