I learned just because I'm a newbie and someone who posted their methods doesn't mean it's better than my own technique. Tore up my face using a four pass method instead of my usual WTG/ATG two pass.
How the Kai Artist Club guard blades actually work. Without the guard all angles are possible. Difficulty level......significantly increased.
Today i learnt not to get complacent...i ended up with a decent cut just below the lip, got too confident and applied too much pressure and wasn't as careful as my previous shaves.
That I am winding down to my top few products and that BnM is indeed a thirsty soap, but I really like it.
1) I get my least irritation with a straight razor 2) As much as I like AOS shave soap and Williams I get most of my irritation after using them. 3) After receiving my Wostenholm from Kevin I do believe my Wosties give me the most comfortable shave. 4) Unfortunately I have learned no matter my face prep my PSO or my choice of blade,razor or straight or soap my neck will always end up with red irritated areas. 5) I really enjoy a freshly shaven face and using my own homemade shaving products.
That my late 48'-50' Superspeed is a great razor. Similar to my Aristocrat and better than my other Gillettes, other than the FB.
I learned that even with preshave oil and a great lather, I can still go Edward scissor hands on my face.
