I've been wet shaving for about a month and am enjoying the whole process and improving my technique. Today was the first day that I completed a shave with good results and didn't get even a single weeper around my throat, which is my trouble spot. I know that is not a big deal to the more experienced members, but it was a nice sense of accomplishment for me.:thumbup:

I was using a 1904 open comb with a Crystal blade. Two passes and touch up in the throat area.

I can't wait! What am I going to do now not having to manuever around yesterday's nick? Or at least where I think it is under the lather.:biggrin1:

Hey, I'm always up for a new razor. B/S/T the best place to look?

Congrats! I still generally get 1-2 weepers after about 2 months experience. But it's getting better all of the time!

Enjoy!
