Bookmarked that heirloom thread. Also had an epiphany while lathering this morning. Still working on preventing weepers on my neck. Might have to stop ATG till I get a little more experience.
Tip with against the grain...SUPER SHORT STROKES! Also, try diagonal lines around the chin, works for me; might for you.
Got the Tabac in the mail today. I can hardly wait to put it to use in the morning. I will have to try really short strokes ATG.
...to The Shave Den family! Be sure to stop by The Shave Den "Master Sticky" thread to familiarize yourself with the rules and different areas of The Shave Den!
And it has begun. Just won an auction on eBay for a'46-'49 Aristocrat. Need something for my travel bag, left town in a hurry Saturday and although I brought the rest of my kit I left my razor on the sink. Still did the pre shave and tabac, but had to borrow a cartridge razor from my brother.
