1st Perfect Wet Shave!

**Tat2d Bald Dude** · 11-16-2009, 02:47 PM

Ok, so after being frustrated the other night about ALWAYS getting weepers and nicks ever single shave, I applied a little less pressure during my shave earlier this evening and not only did I get a BBS shave, but I didn't even get a speck of a nick or weeper AT ALL!

And I haven't even put on any after-shave balm or witch hazel, but heck, with my shave being BBS, should I even bother?

Congrats! I think you've found one of the keys to a good DE shave; not applying pressure.

wooooo!

glad you stuck with it, pally

Very nice! Keep up the good work!

Excellent work! As to your question, I typically apply an AS or a Balm even with a really excellent shave.

Nice! keep on like that.

Good for you, glad to hear of your success. Looks like you've found the perfect technique. Now don't fool around with it.

Congrats!

I too apply AS after a shave, good or bad, it doesn't feel complete if it's not there!

Well Done!!

Huzzah!, and all that...

At the risk of sounding obvious, you'll find a really nice part of this is that it makes future shaves even more pleasant, since you don't have to avoid previous damage.

Good work!

Grats man! It's been a long time coming for you. Glad you finally got that shave. Aftershave is always a nice way to finish off the task.

*standing ovation*

Few people deserve it more than you, my friend.

Of course you should use the Aftershave: it smells great, and the Menthol tingle is amazing, and something I look forward too.

I use the Santa Maria Novella ASB (non alcoholic version). It is awesome after a nice shave!

See it comes to all of us at some point....Maybe you were like me using pressure when you thought you were not...Congrats......

Dude (can I call you dude?), I am so happy DE shaving is working out for you now. Now you can enjoy your shaves instead of struggling with them. Way to stick with it!
