So I've been at this straight shaving business with various levels of regularity since about christmas 2010. In that time I've only completed a handful of shaves without reaching for my superspeed to clean things up.

For some reason the shave I just had about 15 minutes ago was a resounding success. I'm looking over my face in my magnifying mirror after my first pass and I'm confused. Where are all the patches of hair under my jawline? and why are the pits on either side of my adams apple so smooth?:blink:

I'm not sure what it was. Today I tried alum on my fingertips for the first time, that was fantastic. It was also my 2nd shave with my new puma(thanks Teo!), my first 5/8, also my first coticule edge.

Anyway, who cares, but it means a lot to me! I will be shelving the DEs for the foreseeable future if this keeps up, and probably spending a bunch of money in the process.

bless you B&B:thumbup1:

good stuff! it just happens, which is why i always say not to think too hard about it getting it down...concentrating too hard leads me to cuts.

Way to go! :thumbup1: I'm glad it worked out for you.

I'm not even close yet. I'll have to try the alum on the fingertips.

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to getting to that point.
