Hi everyone, a relatively new (3 months and counting!) DE shaver here Currently located in Melbourne, Australia - but originally from the sunny island of Singapore.
First read about DE wetshaving on another forum that I frequent, written in great detail by a member who had this wonderful hobby and decided to share it with the rest of us. It caught my interest as a way to spice up something that had become rather mundane over the years. It was mainly out of curiosity more then anything else because the results I achieved with my Mach 3 were irritation free and at least "DFS" for most part. So it wasn't so much seeking a better result, but rather seeking a more pleasurable path to achieving the same result or hopefully better.
So far its been a great learning experience, albeit sometimes testing on the more sensitive areas on my neck. I swear I've never had such terrible razor burn in my life - but I stuck with it and through simple experimentation and technique through practice I've been able to gradually progress toward that initial goal. Its turned a simple every day routine into a great little experience and for that I'm thankful.
