Newbie DE shaver

@Stanno Don't fear the alum, dude It gives you instant feedback on how well you've shaved (it's not a heavy sting by the way) and allows you to work with blade angle and shave direction to minimise irritation. It's a great feeling when you get a clear pass with it. Just don't drop it like I did with my first block
 

Yeah I had a quick look, still yet to make an amazing creamy lather but getting there!

I quite enjoy using alum block! Stinging isn't very strong but you definitely can feel it! And it's nice way of knowing where you might have brushed the skin bit too hard with the blade despite not having any visible marks, at the moment I am using it after every shave and definitely will for nearest future
 

Cheers for the tip - I'll do my best not to drop it! Should be here be by the weekend so I'll face my fear soon enough Like you say, hopefully it will help me improve my technique. I've read it's not for everyone so I'm definitely interested to see what it's like!
 
That's good news @Stanno . I'm glad I did the same to be fair. Imagine a run-over with it when you started, and thinking "it's going to feel like this every day?"
