Like the title says, what did your last shave teach you or make you realize? Did you discover you really like a product you hadn't used in forever, or that you can't stand a blade, or that your technique sucks? Lol Post em up!
Even at my age I still get whiteheads every now and then and the razor reminds me of it before I know it is there.
If one has managed to get a large spider bite on one's neck, one shouldn't simply lather and shave over it…..
That my new Ball End Tech is a great shave, a little more aggressive than my SuperSpeed, but a great shave
I learnt that stopping a straight razor was not the rocket science requiring skill I had feared it would be Took me quite some time as I went real slow - but I rather enjoyed the process. X-pattern for the win!
Don't get me wrong... I like them, but it seems like this third shave ended with more razor rash today than before... maybe it was the shaving cream that was the culprit though, now that I think of it. (Godrey) BTW, I enjoyed hearing you mentioned on Brush & Soap & Blade podcast this week! Congrats!
This morning. Using stuff that I haven't used in forever is a SIN. I hadn't used my Tech since last winter....... And it delivered the mild touch up shave I desired.
I learnt that my Omega 49 boar and I need some more get-to-know-you time. It doesnt hold the lather like my badgers. Pass two with my Super Adjustable was on the edge of uncomfortable, and pass three punished me a little. I face lathered and was able to build a great lather initially, but the reserves werent there for subsequent passes.
I learnt that I probably wont bother sneaking a DE with blades on a plane because the Gillette Guard does a wonderful job on the go.
