Hello all,
I sort of randomly made the jump to wet shaving. I came across an article about wet shaving on the art of manliness website after reading some article about lifting. I've always used an electric razor on dry skin for my shave. I've always had issues getting a close shave with it, and have frequently had ingrown hairs. I tried shaving with cartridges for a while to get a better shave, but I got so much irritation from them it looked like I shaved my neck with a cheese grater.
So I find this article, and decide to give it a shot. Ended up buying a razor off here before I even had an account (thanks tomharr!), and just had my first shave last night. I made 2 passes (WTG, XTG), and touched up ATG in a few spots, and got probably my smoothest shave i've ever had. I had a little irritation on my neck in one spot, but thats it.
My one question has to do with my lather. I lathered TOBS in a mug using a badger brush. Not sure if I had the right consistency. After it was on my face for a bit (I was shaving pretty darn slow), it dried out a bit and some flakes kept falling off. Looked like a mini snowstorm on my sink. Did I use too much cream, causing it to dry out? Thanks for all the help so far!
