Success!

Finally did my first complete shave without looking like I was smacked in the face with the garden Strummer.
Cleanest one yet, considering I only started Christmas as the wife got me De razor, brush and soap.
I now have a selection of blades, conditioner and cut throat razor and the list is continually growing.
I think I finally passed as a real man this morning without a blood bath.
Really great site and lots of helpful advice, wife loves the smooth face and the smell.

Well done for not slicing your face to bits !

It's early days yet, so expect to have some shaves that don't match what you've experienced today.
Most importantly - get your lather right, and don't apply undue pressure.

Watched lots of YouTube and read lots, understanding the direction the hair grows was a big help.
Thanks Paul for advice, think having lots of time today with plenty of prep time also helped.

The first of many clean shaves, keep doing what you're doing and above all else enjoy your shaves

Great to hear. You will have to change your user name then?
