My 3rd DE shave since converting. Still on my first blade.
Just simply....wow.
Took the time to figure out my stubble growth pattern, as recommended by members.
3 passes with a final touch up and I'm BBS.
A little irritation on the lower neck line which was soothed by the Nivea balm, but It's so much more enjoyable than cartridge shaving.
The Nivea products have been lying in my bathroom cupboard for a long time, but now I actually know how to use them properly!
Thanks to everyone for the advice so far.
Now to start experimenting!
+1 on the Salter tallow. Great stuff; the quality far exceeds the price!

I think this Cyril R Salter soap is the find of the year for me, superb soap and a lovely lavender scent for under £5! On par with Haslinger before they went veggie. Certainly satisfied my lavender urge, as long as it is available it will be a staple of my stash. Been a while since I used a Polsilver blade and as always top notch, maybe not as good as the Wizamet but amongst today's offerings it's top of the pile.

Oh the suffering.
Nice write-up. Sounds like you are going about it the right way.
Try to stick with the same set-up for a few weeks if you can.
It takes time to hone your technique but the rewards are worth it. It's great to take your have a little 'me time".
Good luck with your future shaves.
Cheers

First of all, thanks must go to @Barry Giddens for letting try his latest bit of hardware, cheers Barry she's a beaut.
After looking at her admiringly, I was surprised at how light it was when I eventually picked her up. I know, I know, aluminium is light but she looks so substantial it still caught me unawares.
The shave was very good, two and a half passes to get a dfs and not a peep from the alum block, a very good first impression indeed.
Happy Shaving one and all.
