I made it! I have shaved everyday and collected enough knowledge and experience to get some really awesome BBS shaves! I have evened out the skin color between my face and Sly dome. I'm no longer getting any razor burns or bumps either!
It was a rough start but things are really good now. I have also changed my face shaving method and have moved into the world of Wet shaving using a double edge blade with a vintage Gillette Adjustable safety razor. My new razor is a 63' model, it is older then me and looks like new.
Here is some of my Head and Face shaving gear.



Congrats, Kojak....we made it about the same time!
nice collection, and congrats on your 'graduation' - you're a natural
Thanks! Thanks again for all the great advice and guidelines and everything!
Congrats!!! Looks great!!!
Way to go man! Bet it feels good!
One question: Does using the brush make it so you use less shaving creame? Or what is the purpose of it? I've never used one, but hear lots of people talk about them so I always wonderd.
Congratulations! You have been a strong addition to the Sly Fraternity!

The brush feels wonderful and defiantly extends your product. If you are using for example HeadSlick and applying it with your hand, it doesn't lather up like it does with a brush. I would guess that you could use one half to one third less product with the brush. It helps to lift the hair is the second benefit.
