Mainly that I'm just hard headed. I kept trying to take it slow and focus on my technique but I just ended up cutting myself. Now I just go for it and have it in my mind whatever happens happens and strangely enough my shaves are progressing.
Today I had reinforced that this shaving thing is a Zen, head thing, more than a tool thing. The more we focus on the technique, and keep the busyness out of our heads, the more likely we will have a positive experience. I changed one thing.... added a chin to shave, to the mix, and that is all I could focus on, causing some weepers.
Independently I was going to report a similar experience. I put a Feather blade in my 40's era SS and got a better shave on the 2nd use of that blade (BBS) than the first go around. The third time using the blade resulted in a DFS experience though.
Gentlemen, from my last shave... Shaving under home conditions way better than when on the road. Nice to be back in my own den!
I learned that LPL soap is next level! Very good stuff and it just raised the bar on what I expect out of a good performer. LPL really stands for Luxurious, Protective, Lather! Seriously get some if you can...
