So I took your guys advice and as always it worked. 1. I really worked on my lather. The tip to smash a bit of soap in the bottom of my lather bowl and use less water worked perfect! I didn't get a ton of lather or too little. It was the perfect amount for two WTG passes.2. I put in the yellow Gillette 7oclock razor and what a difference! I was able to let the razor do the work finally. I forced myself to remember to apply NO pressure and let gravity and the weight of the razor do all the work. For the first time I had no weepers and no nicks (is it nicks or knicks?). On a side note the Maggard lime and burgomont soap smells amazing. Thanks again for all your help. A couple more shaves like this and I'll add a ATG pass. Gasp!
