Thanks to all of you gentlemen and ladies! Today was my BEST shave yet. Closest to BBS (not quite there). All I did was focus on technique and changing a few things. I changed my angles a little bit so they were better with and across the grain, I changed so that my WTG pass was at a more open setting on my Futur and my XTG was at the most closed. I also spent a little more time with the lather on my face. Then to top it off, after watching a ton of videos, I finally got the right spots to stretch and how to stretch them.
So a GIANT THANK YOU! to all of you. This has been the best beginning to a hobby/art/fun/etc. ever.
And to all of you who are getting started please, please, PLEASE take what everyone here says and USE it. It will only make your experience better and get you the information you need to start getting YOUR perfect shave.
Sorry btw, I am a little excited that today went so well when just last week I was getting fairly frustrated with everything lol.

Glad to see a Happy Panda around here for a change!
Just keep on keepin' on, and don't be devastated if you think you've got it down and hit a "sophomore slump". There's plateaus and dips on the way to the top of shaving nirvana."He must be a king. He hasn't got Williams all over 'im!" - cb91710
