I'm one of the "full beard since 9th grade guys". I have always hated shaving to
the point that I used to only take jobs that didn't mind me having a big ole grizzly Adams beard.
My facial hairs can be used as knitting implements and my skin is see through.
Anyway, after a year of procrastination and drooling over Merkurs and a month of lurking here, I found one of the red handled super speeds for $5 at an antique shop, got some cheapo blades, soap and boar brush from wallmart, went to town on the razor with the dremel, soaked it in alcohol, showered and dove in. I am really happy with the results.
I'm on day 4 and I would say that 75% of my face is BBS with a very small amount of burn and 1 tiny nick. I can only attribute my success to reading this forum. Thanks! I fully expect to screw up somehow, so I'm sure that I will be here pleading for solutions, and after a month or so I am going to upgrade everything, so I will be back. Just wanted to say thanks again!
