Title: 30 Days started last night!
Post by: wutwutman on June 27, 2013, 08:51:23 AM

Ok I jumped up the timetable and started last night with my first ever blade shave!  Based on what I read here, I used a Mach 3 Disposable, Head Slick, and some cheaper after shave that I bought because the smelled reminded me of the barbershop when I was younger lol

It went great!  Love the pivoting head on the Mach 3. Didn't have to put hardly any pressure on the blade.  I only shaved with the grain this time.  Got super smooth.  If I don't bump up after a couple more shaves, then I'll try going against grain.  Oh and I really like how Head Slick feels....

And now.. the pic:

key thing to remember in shaving is not to use much pressure.

Invest in some Bump Stop 2. Is about $4.50 from any local grocery store.

Well it's been about 2 weeks of shaving so far and I still love it.  I got ATG shaving down I think.  I can rub my head any direction and its smoooooooth! LOL  So far no nicks or cuts. Well nothing visible.  Every now and then I get the "burn" when applying aftershave but its minimal.

@Beachtuna - I did! :)  Have had it ever since I first decided to shave  O0
