Well i had my first ever shave with a DE razor today (mines a merkur 42)
i didnt cut myself which is a good start but my technique was poor mainly because i was shacking like a dog :lol: & scared id cut myself and die.
i missed alot of hairs because i think i took the idea of no pressure appart from the razor abit to seriously (the blade hardly touched my cheek in parts lol) but were i did just let the razor do its job the shave was ok. i only shaved in one direction today i hope in a few week to build up the confidentto try and shave across the grain.
still need to by a brush and pot.
i dont know how you guys with streight razors do it. i was pooping myself trying to use a DE razer :lol:
think i still have alot to learn i'll try again tomorrow.
cheer guys
