Yes it always get easier with the time. Usually it takes 3-5 shaves for me to get familiar with a razor. 'Complicated' razors require longer...You need more Bunny training alright. I've had more than 20 Bunny shaves so far and let me tell you... it gets easier.
It took me a while to find it again, but I'm using pretty much the same grip that richgem described on TSD in ↪this post3rd bunny shave
SOTD 28. June 2016
1,5 days growth
shower
selfmade preshave as usual
mild comb
arko ice mint cream (nice)
Plisson pour L'Ocitane brush
Schick(3)
Lotion Opaline AS
Training helps! The handling gets better, even under the nose I was les frightened and got a decent result.
Bunny did bite less at the neck this time - today on the left side, minor - but still.
2 pass shave as usual (with/cross and cross/against), some touch ups.
My skin is a bit stressed, though.
I think the closeness I could have reached (if not interrupted/hastened during the shave) with the mild comb would be about the same as with the notso comb, but I think the mild comb is more forgiving ;-)
Also when using more pressure on the handle, it is not so slippery. Just a matter of getting used to it.
Index finger on the head works a treat for me as well. Great control and no slippery malarky. Worth a try.richgem said:One other thing... I've "invented" a new grip which I found helpful for the bunny. It wasn't intentional, I swear. lol. But, here's how I found my grip just automatically happening: Pointer finger straight along the handle with the tip of my finger on the head or just below it on the neck. Other fingers wrapped loosely around the handle. Butt of the handle resting against my palm. Seems to work.

WD20.30?
I've been trying to figure out how to make that with products available in the UK..
You cal always try this:WD20.30?

It's the face cream bit that I'm struggling with... I tried to read the ↪entire thread on the German gut-rasiert forum, but got confused. I might have to start a WD20.30 thread here. That home made pre-shave stuff is all the rage in Germany...All you need is a good rich facecream (organic daycream?) - my best result was with Lavera Basis sensitive soft creme, some good (organic) body oil, and an aftershave. Boots should have something suitable?!Superdrug? Amazon?

That's just a pre-shave oil. The German concoction is a mixture of face cream/baby cream, body oil and alcohol..You might want to take a peek over here: => *click* <= (homemade pre-shave oil tutorial at TSD)

Sorry to hear that, DonnerJack.Hey guys, sorry to bail at the last moments, but for sudden personal reasons that would require my full time I won't be able to participate. Thanks again for the opportunity, it's very generous. I'll just have to live it through your reports, or wait till it will arrive to market
Sorry to hear that, DonnerJack.Hope all is well! (or will be well soon!).
P.S. Drop me a line when you're ready. I've got some friends over here in The Netherlands and one in France who like to try the Bunny, so you can try it out later.
BTW, @twhite510 : I'll post my friends's findings over here as well. One is my son and the other two (one Dutch and the Frenchie) don't speak a word English.
