Ok...........I must admit that it did take me some time to get used to a DE, but now I cant go without using one. BUT..........I must finish with a Mach III or Fusion.
Here's my ritual:
Hot shower
Proraso pre/post
SCS Almond Soap and Taylor Almond Cream Mixed
Badger Brush
Parker Razor
Sharp Blade
WTG/XTG/ATG Shave with DE
Touch up chin (BUFF), adams apple and upper lip with Mach III or Fusion
WWR then CWR
After Shave of the day
Nivea Balm
=
BBS for me
I just cant get so close with DE alone........SO....I will be keeping my Gillette's around.
BUT, I was in a rush yesterday and thought I'd go back to a fast Fusion shave. Boy was I wrong. I had a 3/4 day beard and put the Fusion down after 1 WTG pass as it felt like it was pulling my skin off of my face. I cant believe I shaved with a Mach III/Fusion for so long before going DE. With a DE I get NO pulling of the skin/irritation/redness whatsoever.
