So I've been into this whole wet shaving thing for a few months so far and everything is great. I'm getting nice face lather with AOS and a silver tip brush bough on here. I'm using murker HD bough a sampler pack moved from derby's to personnas currently and I'm working my way to astras, crystals, and feathers. I haven't had any major cuts in forever, a few weepers when I'm careless or when I good over a spot a few times (usually needs to be more than 4) without lather.
Now here's the thing I get pretty good shaves (especially with the personnas) going ***,XTG, and ATG but after a day I feel patches. I noticed that I'm leaving a few spots with some stubbles even though I can't feel them. I noticed if I stretched the skin I could get closer but it would mean a little "over stretching". Should I stretch it and go for the ultra smooth BBS? If so when should I stretch the "most" WTG, XTG, or ATG? Do you all think I should just skip the personnas and move to the crystals because they are sharper? And in the name of full disclosure I do use shave oil would you all agree I should try with using the oil to see if I see a difference? I didn't want to mention the oil because I know we're all divided on the use of it.
