Tempe Arizona here...I have been wet shaving for about 3 weeks. The first 2 or 3 shaves were a bloody disaster...After reading the great info from you gents, improving my technique, and finding a blade or two that agrees with my face...my shaves are getting much better. I picked up the EJ DE89, a good badger brush, and sample pack of blades. Found a good after-shave balm with Speick. Mainly it is my technique that is getting better. No pressure and lock the wrist... I concentrate on that the most after mapping my face and finding out where the whiskers go... I learned to shave with a DE 45 yrs ago, and then bought into the cartridge craze of the Gillette advertising like so many others did... Thanks for all the help so far.... Paul
