And my legs are so SMOOOOOTH!
Ok, being a woman, BBS shaves are nothing new to me, but to be this smooth after 2 passes with a single blade is a revelation. In some spots I was able to get BBS with a single ATG pass so I'm sure things will get even better with some practice on my blade angles.
I used TOBS Avocado shaving cream. My new Merkur 38c and an Astra SP blade. I couldn't feel a thing unless my lather was too thin (I didn't lather my whole leg at once) and then I encountered a bit of tugging. I know I should try my other blades and I will but I'm in that giddy moment of, "OMG how can this possibly get any better?" Gillette Silver Blue and Feathers are next. The 4oz weight of the Merkur 38c is brilliant.
So yeah, I'm a totally DE convert. I will now go forth and preach the good word of The Safety Razor throughout the land.
Just had my first DE shave.
