Using a DE razor for shaping/edging?

Yeah, that's also what I figured from watching a few video tutorials... I usually shape the same way as NoPony but I find disposable/cartride razors awkward to angle on my wonky jawline.

That aside, I quite like the idea of using something that's made to last rather than a two-bit mass-produced plastic piece that's only going to end to landfill... and if the feeling is half as good as a proper barber wet shave I'm sold before even trying :)

So today I came home from work to find a couple of parcels from Amazon on the doorstep... wham bam, unpacked everything, spent a few minutes ooohing and aaawing at the shiny chromed awesomeness of my new razor, lathered up and got down to business.
Well all I can say is too bad I didn't find out about DE shaving years ago. One of the smoothest shaves I've ever had (and I only went WTG), no irritation, not a single nick despite my shaky hand and nonexistent technique - not even in areas when I would ALWAYS get nicks and cuts when using cartridges... and defining the goatee lines has been almost a cakewalk, easy to see the blade, easy to tell if it's cutting right or not (I just had to listen)... so I guess my questions have been answered! And thanks everyone for pointing me in the right direction!

Laser Man:
Glad to hear you had a good first shave with the new DE.  You'll get more comfortable with each day and will be a pro in a short time!
