I want to thank Dave in KY for being so generous in sending me a PIF care package. From this package in today's shave I used the Gem Featherweight and a GEM SS PFTE blade.
What was it our Mother's told us after you fell off you bike and scratched you knee? If first you don't succeed, try, try again! I did not have the most successful shave today. There are a number of things that could have contributed; new to Williams soap, new razor, new type of blade, fourth day shaving in a row, and most likely the real reason...I changed my shaving music to Yo-Yo Ma!Bottom line, I'm a FNG-SE shaver and there are going to be days like this! I'll get back on the horse tomorrow, albeit with an unmentionable to allow my skin an easier day. The good news is for the first time I was able to shave one complete pass using a SE razor!
Thanks again to Dave for his generosity and kindness!
Hey, Wchnu! I think that was part of the issue as well at what GAW9576 was saying about the pressure. With the new razor, new blade, and new soap...I was trying to focus on too many things and in the end focused on nothing. If that make any sense. I'll get back on the horse!
