    Default 31 days in and it just keeps getting better

    I started using a DE 31 days ago and I keep learning every time I shave. I have been wet shaving for several years but decided to finally get a DE and give it try. After paying $11 for a pack of cartridges which would last me about 4 months and not really get a close shave. I figured it up and that would buy DE razors for a year. I was using Williams Shaving Soap but it dries out before I can finish a complete pass. I then got VDH at Walmart and it was irritating and I had several nicks. I finally got some C.O. Bigelow today and had the most comfortable and closest shave to date.

    Practice pays off. Each shave builds upon the other and it does just keeps getting better.

    It's a learning curve that will all come together nicely. Keep up the great shaves!

    I find that I'm still learning after over 2 years into wet shaving. I think its great when you learn something new with a particular shave.

    I think it would be very unwise to ever think that you've got this shave thing down pat.
