Ok first let me say that being a 49 yr old man heading to the sink to try shaving with a DE for the first time was one of the most scary things ( in my head ) that I have ever done. I have been listening to advice from here, reading and watching tutorials but still I think I peed a little ! LOL That being said I tried to start off very cautiously but could only muster up the nerves to do one cheek with the DE. Thoughts of angle , no pressure, enough lather, WTG, ATG, XTG and so forth flowing through my head almost overwhelmed me. But I got that cheek done with no nicks. I wont say it was easy, the biggest thing was keeping the correct angle once I get that down I think I will be more confident. I used my 90c with Derby blade ( part of a sample pack) because I have read that they are a good beginner blade. One question I have is - I have read that the 90c is an aggressive razor should I keep using it or should I get a " less aggressive" razor ? If so any reccomendations?
Thanks for all the support so far ( still shell shocked )
