Yet another recent convert to DE shaving. I've recently got into Safety razors after getting fed up mainly with the extortionate pricing of cartridge blades, but not I'm enjoying taking a little more time to shave.
Two weeks in and I'm still struggling to get a consistent all over close shave. Initial attempts resulted in an upper lip and neck covered in blood, but I'm slowly learning to take my time, let the Razor do the work and resist the urge to shave against the grain (which always worked fine with my Mach3).
Using an Edwin Jagger DE89L with a boar brush (badger on order) and TOOBS Sandalwood (although I treated myself to some Jermyn St today). Alum block on order, although I'm worried it will increase and not reduce my shaving rash.
Anyway, Hello
