HOLY CRAP!!! My face is smooth... Did a three pass shave this morning, WTG, XTG, ATG. Ended up with 98% of my face feeling smooth in all directions. I can't stop feeling it... Merkur 34c with a Shark Super Chrome was my weapon of choice. I don't know what to think of the Shark quite yet, there was some tugging with it with going ATG, but I guess that might be normal. Either way it is quite awesome. Thanks for all of the tips from everybody here, I've learned a lot in the two weeks I've been doing this.
Awesome deal EndlessFields! Its always a good feeling when it turns out good, especially with a couple rough shaves prior to it. Keep at it!
It can be quite scary. Because I walk around afterwards, stroking my face........people give me very strange looks
ahhhh, isn't faceterbating great. Congrats on getting a great shave! Don't get cocky next time - remember your technique and don't rush to get the same results. If you go about it the same way, you should end up with another great shave. And remember...........they only get better.
This is called faceturbation my friend. It won't make you go blind but it make you get hair on your palms if you didn't rinse well enough.
Buhaha I have been faceturbating all morning. I have found a few places I need to do better next time.
For any cartridge razor and electric razor users who just happened to stumble across this thread, this is why folks here think traditional wetshaving rocks. Oh, and we spend only 30 cents per blade instead of $4.00 per cartridge, and our batteries never run down. You, too, can follow in EndlessFields' footsteps. EndlessFields, congrats on your fantastic shave! Ain't life grand?
