Gentlemen,

As my DE technique gets progressively better, I am really enjoying and looking forward to shaving in the mornings. It used to be that I despised shaving, but put up with it because I had to. Weekends were my escape from shaving. Once I got past the horrible 6 am daily chore, my day only got better.

And that's where you guys come in. Thanks to all the great advice, gear recommendations, and technique suggestions, I am getting good at this (well, almost). Now, I really look forward to shaving every day. I'm getting BBS and DFS shaves daily, and the combination of soap, fragrance, creamy lather, and a damn fine EJ86 razor all combine to make this a near nirvana experience every morning.

So now, my day peaks at 6am with my morning ritual. That's it, that's the highlight of the day. There's no way anything that follows can top this awesome ritual. After 6am, my day is downhill. Thanks guys - it's all your fault :001_tt2:

But seriously though, thanks for turning this dreaded experience into an art form. Indeed, I never get a "perfect" shave, so each day is an aspiration to do just that much better.

Conratulations!

While many may find it strange that we look forward to shaving, we understand the enjoyment of turning a chore into fun and pleasure.

Also, you could add an evening refresher shave or a luncheon shave for more to look forward to.

You may just have to start shaving twice a day. :clown:

Brilliant! It just keeps getting better! SWMBO suspects I'm going a little nuts, now she'll be convinced. But who cares? This is plain fun!

I'm getting th same grief - every time a package arrives it's a question like "...more shave crap?".

Are you doing the Saturday night "luxury" shave yet? Lock yourself away and do a nice, slow 4 pass with "all the fixins"

Good to hear mate!

The sign of a true connoisseur. One of the great luxuries is a weekend evening shave before going out for dinner.

no need for it to end after the shave. the trick is to take that certain je ne sais quoi that makes wetshaving such a near nirvana experience and find a way to infuse it into the rest of the day

wetshaving isn't just a morning ritual... it's a philosophy!

Welcome! I think 99 percent of the gentlemen on this forum are saying "I could say the same about myself".
