Hi all,
Started DE shaving about 3 months ago with a Murkur Futur and cut myself to ribbons with it even on #1! Thought it was down to technique and I'm sure some of it was. Then realised after a while that the top plate was not square, meaning that one side of the blade was more exposed than the other, hence the blood bath. I persevered and after a while I kind of got the hang of it but still with the inevitable nick every now and again. Just bought a Feather AS-D2 and am very happy with it so sent the Futur back as it was clearly substandard.
Really happy I didn't give up (and I very nearly did!) as the results are a million times better than the Mach 3 that I was using before. I will never look back.
I've been reading various posts on this forum over the last month or so and they have really helped point me in the right direction, so decided to sign up so I could say thanks to all for the helpful posts.
Very much looking forward to learning from this community more and hoping some day I can impart some knowledge too!
Whilst reading through some posts I have noticed that there are a lot of acronyms in use here. I've worked out some of them but I'm struggling with some, especially some of the brands being a newbie. Is there a glossary posted anywhere? would be really helpful for a newbie!
Thanks again all, your posts have been invaluable in my transition into the word of DE shaving.
Any further help and advice greatly received!
