So, I just started DE shaving a week ago and my lineup consists of
-EJ DE89 with Derby blades
-Proraso white Pre-Barba and white tub.
-St. Ives Exfoliating face scrub with Salicylic Acid or Clean n' Clear Foaming facial cleanser(depends if I had previously showered or not).
-Bath and Body works Post-Shave Face Lotion(got the last 4 tubes at the summer sale)
On the way: Clubman Pinaud After Shave Lotion splash 12.5oz and Shavez 125g Alum Block.
I got confident with the WTG shave, then I eventually tried the XTG shave, and now I finally decided to gather up enough balls to try the ATG shave. I think that I would give my WTG shave an A-, my XTG shave a B(because I'm still confused about angle in a couple places.), and my ATG shave a C(had a couple nicks due to razor bumps from years of Cart shaving, and confusion about angles going up.)
I got away with a couple nicks that got closed up by a hot water splash and a coat of post-shave face lotion and now 20 minutes after, I'm totally okay. The shave is probably pretty close to what you guys consider BBS to be. I had really good lather after reading Marco's advice on lathering. Turns out this whole time, I haven't been doing enough swirls in my Proraso Tub, only about 1/3. I did 120 swirls this time(counted it out, yes I did), and got that mythical yogurt like cream.
So far this is my best shave. One thing I've noticed from cartridge shaving is that when i put on Face lotion, it would burn like hell enough that I almost felt like I had to scream in pain after cartridge shaving. After DE shaving, there's no pain/burn whatsoever. So awesome.
