Hiya,
I guess this thread comes about from me reading so many new to wet shaving experiences, most of em being somewhat 'challenging' in certain ways. Whatever...the main point being the needed skills aren't learned inna couple days.
To be honest with y'all who don't know, it takes a month to start getting regularly good, but not great shaves. Seems to me, maybe 25-30 times will get the trial/error thing under control, along with how to make a decent lather and pressure and the right angle. After a month it gets lots easier.
Two weeks is even a very good start and big improvements start showing up. Yep, this 'hobby' needs at least 10-15 sessions to start figuring out and the shaves start coming together which is a kick!
Figure on taking a full month to learn something you'll have forever, something most people don't share. Actually enjoying shaving of all the goofy things. Having fun shaving crap to use and getting excellent shaves to boot.
