Started out with a warm water face wash followed by a 1 minute hot towel. Heated my boars hair brush in warm/hot water in advance. Lathered up the Lather and Wood soap using shaving mug as a lather bowl... took a bit to get lather.
Lathered face and gently shaved entire face...definitely need practice! Few hot spots on neck and edges of goatee.
Suspect my eagerness to try my new tools failed to take into account that I have lost most if not all of the skill necessary for a close and comfortable shave.
I will allow a day or two for my face to rest and take more time with the next pass, paying special attention to shave WTG and avoid applying pressure. Also will plan to shower immediately before shaving and pre-lathering in the shower as a pre-shave moisturizer. May need to consider asking questions regarding the best blades for my beard type and skill level.
Determined to stick with this as a way to refocus, relieve stress and enjoy shaving again.
