Try to avoid ATG for the moment, maybe try across the grain (XTG) as tempting as it is to go for the BBS shave. Your technique will get better. Or do a XTG before you ATG.
I think many member on here enjoy shaving. Yes, people think it is bizzarre when you tell them that
Hot shower
Proraso white soap, bowl lathered with NF Tubby 2
EJ DE89
Boots blade (2)
KoS balm
Didn't load enough soap first time, a reload and absolutely superb lather was the result. Realised that on my last, sideways (ATG) pass my blade angle was (and probably consistently has been) too steep. Fixed. BBS in three passes with almost zero touch-up (personal best!), quick and clean and smooth and satisfying. For the second day in a row, the best shave I've had. Loving it.
