Hello all,
I have been in the DE/Wet-shaving game for about 3 months now, and just want a little more direction if you gents don't mind!
First, I felt as if I got the hang of shaving with the DE rather quickly, and although I am pleased enough with the quality of my shaves...I find that I haven't been getting anywhere near that BBS shave I was hoping for. Don't get me wrong, I find my shaving experience remarkably pleasant, but I still find myself waiting for that perfect shave outcome! The problem area appears to be my neck/under jaw which I have a devilish time trying to shave closely. I am not quite certain if it is due to me not yet having developed my technique, a lapse in a choice of product, or a combination of the two.
If anyone has any suggestions/corrections to help me achieve that special shave, it would be greatly appreciated, below is a brief outline of tools/routine.
Razor: I initially started with a Feather Popular, and then graduated to a Gillette Super Slim (which I have found roughly 6 to be the best setting for my face).
Blade: I initially started with feathers due to having the Popular, and have continued to use them. One of my next shaving purchases will be a sampler pack.
Soap: Proraso Green/Red
Lather: Kyle's face lather technique.
Brush: cheap Omega Boar. However, I have been contemplating one of the badger's from Badass Shaving Co.
ASroraso once again.
Passes: 1 WTG, 1 ATG, 1 XTG touch up on jaw line/chin.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated,
-Colt
