At last the wait is over. 1st go at proper shaving

[geeza]

I would have done this yesterday but having visited the throne over 20 times and feeling rather crap I waited for today, even though the belly and bum has started to play havoc again
Merkur Futur set at 2.5 1st pass with blade that came with it
"" "" "" set at 3 for 3rd pass

Used Wilko brush from Tesco and the cream from FIDO I gladly received as a PIF ( erm...What does it stand for? )
Nicked the bottom of my nose a little and a few little spots of blood around the chin.
Cheeks are nicely smooth but the neck not so. Will have to check the vids for more info

Just come in from outside in the cold air. WOW that feels cold on the face!

Good work!

Remember no pressure, just take your time, the technique will come.

Don't suprised in a few years of DE use..a straight razor gets your face even more interested!... :lol:

Starting with the futur... brave and expensive if you dont get on with it haha.

Glad it went well, the nose can be difficult, remember cutting corner of my nose off with a mac3 one... that hurt.
I've been using my Weishi DE about two weeks had 5 shaves in that time... gets better each time, technique comes.

PIF stands for "putting it forward", we do that when we give something out to someone for free, in order for them to try it out or just use it indefinitely.
