The call of the Shaving Gods was strong this cool September morning. I popped in a crystal, as Mottern Man suggested..Applied my AOS shaving oil, proceeded to get some lather brewing...a feeble attempt as I am merely a shaving newbie at this point.. Oh, the shaving Gods were looking down upon me today. Everything went perfect..And, as I sit here in total satisfaction in what I consider to be the best wetshave I have ever experienced, I can't help but think that the shaving Gods were definitely rewarding me this morning. I did 2 North/South passes. I kept thinking, wow, this sounds/feels awsome..I can actually feel the wiskers succumbing to the crystal/merkur...I knew I should probably quit at that point and call it a successful first DE shave. But like a drunk being offered 1 more, I continued with an across the grain pass, followed by an against the grain pass...followed by some touch ups... All this and not a speck of blood or irritation anywhere..WOOHOO!!! The shaving Gods have seen fit to provide me with an absolutely outstanding shave..What a great way to start the day. Thanks to everyone on the board...this place rocks ::git Steve
Sounds like a great shave. Stick with the Crystal for a couple of months, then start exploring the blade sampler packs. There's so much to enjoy! Welcome!
Hey gang, thanks for the replies and advice. Leisureguy, thats good advice, I was wondering if I should try a different blade after the crystal, or just use them for a while longer...thanks for the info.. Steve
Glad to hear it went well! Stay with the crystals for awhile, to make sure you have your technique perfected. The less variables when learning, the faster you'll learn.
rofl:rofl Thats funny, great analogy. And congratulations on a good outing with the HD, always nice to hear a success story :: Keep up the good work! Let's see some photos in the SOS threads
When I saw the title.....I was worried! Congrats on the good shave...and it just keeps getting better
Now here is the real challenge, to find the perfect shave. I have been doing this for only a year and I have not found the promise land yet. Although I do have a fiarly good idea of where its at.
Cough...cough...sputter....you were doing fine until you got to the Aqua Velva. BBS (Baby Butt Smooth) and no irritation resulting in day long faceturbation. ::
