So first report in of first ever shave.
It was great
, really enjoyed it.
So used my starter pack that arrived today
Razor - Weishi 2003-M (blade was the one included, Dorco) blade did not seem massively sharp so I may try one of my Wilkinson Sword ones next to compare.
Brush - Cheapish Boar Hair brush
Soap - Palmolive Stick
Aftershave - new Old Spice
no pre shave beside lots of hot water due to not having any stuff yet.
So originally decided two passes would be enough, one pass with grain, one across the grain as I have seen many people use. After second pass decided on a third as I had not been stretching my skin enough and missed a bit on my neck and under my nose, so third pass cleaned that all up.
Very smooth, no irritation, I seemed to pick up the 30% tilt quite fast and did not cut myself at all not even a small one (proud)
So overall, I will most definitely be continuing this shaving style. I guess shaving is just one of those things our granddads have mastered and we cannot improve on
p.s. Forgot to mention, first shave I did have a problem developing the lather, I think this is mostly down to error mixed with the pretty basic boar brush, by the third pass I had got the lather I wanted, completely white face.
