Tomorrow morning I'm taking the plunge! A little history...
I've been shaving exclusively with electric shavers for the last 15 years. I currently have one of those fancy self-cleaning Braun deals. I've never been real impressed with the closeness but my neck is extremely sensitive and I always assumed electric was gentler. A couple weeks ago I decided to try a blade. I went with a Schick Quattro. Shortly after I stopped the bleeding I got online to find out what I could do to improve my results.
I've read hundreds of posts in these forums over the last couple weeks (a big thanks to all of you!) and my Merkur 38C arrived today! So tomorrow will mark my second experiment. It almost has to go better than the first!
Anyway, as I'm sure I will be asking lots of questions after tomorrow, I figured introducing myself would be the polite thing to do.
