    You are welcome, Patrick! By the way, I fixed my original comment because I meant to say sell yourself short. I know that you knew what I meant, but I always have to correct my typos.

    Awesome shave, Patrick! It's nice to see what I can look forward to if I stick with it :D

    Out of curiosity, is the Neutrogena shave cream brushless, or do you whip up a lather like usual?

    Awesome, Evan--congrats on the new Shake Sharp! MITA shaves are always the best, and I love how the brush handle matches the lemon-limeiness of the soap. Just a refreshing set up to look at :D

    With your advice the old chin is not so much of a problem to navigate anymore . I have great confidence in that area now !

    Excellent! I love getting all the pro's and con's lined up. I totally get where you're coming from, and thus far, my toe/heel mishaps have not drawn any blood because I've kept the pressure light, so perhaps you have a point. When I used that shavette it the summer to trim off my 3 months growth, I gave myself a pretty decent set-down slice because I went overboard on the pressure--that little set back instilled a healthy respect for managing pressure with a shavette ;)

    So:
    • Slow and steady
    • The flatter the better
    • Pressure drop
    • Razor drop
    ;):D

    I agree, Joe. I've considered blunting the leading corner of the half-DE blade in my shavette as Andrew suggests, but I think it would hinder me from consistently 'perfecting' my technique. I also generally try to handle bare DE blades as little as possible for safety reasons...breaking them in half for use in the shavette is pushing it. :)

    If I focus intently during the shave, it's not an issue. Sometimes when I lose focus the corner of the blade will nick or irritate my skin, particularly on my neck.

    Blunting the blade is definitely one of those YMMV things. Whatever works for someone else is OK by me. I mean, if a guy like @NCoxSTL wants to hide behind a goatee to avoid learning how to shave his chin, I'm OK with that. ;)

    Hey, no more maelstroms, OK? :happy102:

    P.S. Your new JR brush is super cool!
