What did we learn from our last shaves?

I learned that I really don't like lather free shave cream.

 

I've been using this daily for the past few weeks and really like it:

 

Yes! I am with you on that one!

 

You know... that is an awful good analogy. Steak and shaving. I am going to have to gratefully steal that! A good steak is just like a good shave. It is all about the details. The best steak is all about the right meat, good prep and solid technique.. or you can toss it on the grill and hope it works out in the end. I think I am going to hone this analogy as a way to help my non wet shaving friends understand how much better it is.

 

I'm learning that I may have to change my after routine to compensate for the effects of the cold on my skin. About 2 months ago I stopped using all after products to simplify things. Was going great, but this -25 weather is sucking the moisture out of my skin. May need to go back to a balm.

 

From my last shave...

I really like Proraso Green. Very easy to work into lather.

 

That my MMOC gives an amazing shave

 

I shaved off my goatee, kept the stash so I could have more shaving area.

 

I've learned that I am never as satisfied with a single edge razor as I'd like. My DEs always work better for me.

Boring to just shave cheeks and neck haha? =)

 

What I've learned since I've begun my wet shaving journey is this wonderful shaving community! It's more than posting a SOTD, showing what goodies you received, it's friendships, caring about the well being of other members as a part of your extended family.

Agree! +1

From my last shave I learned...

At some point, menthol becomes a distraction...Yeti Snot is past that point.

 

I learned I like the Astra Stainless Steel blades almost as much as the Platinum ones.

 

And the cat isn't trying to bury you? I'm surprised...

 

I can't shave with menthol soaps because they numb my face to the point I don't feel feedback from the blade and I don't know how much pressure I'm using. Now AFTER the shave, that's different. LOL.

 

I could deal with the numb...but had trouble shaving my neck due to eyes filling up with tears!

 

I learned that I will NEVER travel again without a DE. Going back to carts for the past 4 days has to be like purgatory, better than the alternative but not really acceptable either.
