Hi, I'm new here and as you can tell from the title of my post I am completely ignorant of the whole idea of wet shaving. I'm 41 years old and have never used anything but supermarket creams(or gels)/disposable razors(currently Gillette Fushion) and/or electric razors. I've had Braun electrics in the past and a Norelco (which was horrible) and most recently I've ordered a Panasonic Arc IV (yet to receive). In fact that's what brings me here...I started looking for a cream to use in conjunction with the Panasonic, and discovered this whole realm of "wet shaving." I've read and read over the course of the last several hours, and I have a really simple question. Does wet shaving really make that big of a difference?
I've never had what I would call a "comfortable shave." It always feels like the blades are pulling the hair out verses cutting it. While I don't have a heavy bead, it is somewhat coarse and no matter what I've tried, nothing seems to make much difference and it appears that wet shaving would take considerably longer, is that about right?
Now after reading everything that I have here, I'm wondering if the techniques taught here will make a difference when it comes to comfort? I understand I could probably get a closer shave, but how about a more comfortable one? Thanks!
BTW, how long does it take to go through the whole "wet shaving" process? Honestly the length of time it takes me to shave with cream and a disposable is one of the deciding factors in going electric.
