Not the best shave again, I really like DE shaving because its a very smooth shave, but this stands for nothing if your neck looks like a plucked chicken! so i'm going to be giving my old cart razor (king of shaves azor) a whirl next week to compare, if i go back at least ive discovered much better creams and the badger!

Give it some more time, it´ll get better. I promise. Presure is a big isue, if feather light presure + right angles + a couple of passes (and you have to find the blades that works best for you) = super smooth and problem free shaves.

Trumpers skin food (post)
What an amazing shave. Very very close, eels like i wont have to shave for a fortnight. Zero burn or nicks or anything. I dont know what to put it down to and i took advice and changed a few things. Palmolive soap, skin food and back to the personna. This will now be my standard for a while to get technique down. Then i will only change one thing at a time.
Many thanks again for the advice.
It was even good therapy for a hangover.
