Third shave with my DX and it was a complete shave with no irritation, no blood, no rough patches. I gave myself a high five, and can't wait for my next shave. I feel that I can master the technique, and will never go back to DEs.

Keep up the good work and don't lose the caution in the next shave - simply said, don't get cocky. I nicked myself XTG for the first time (first actual nick during a "strike"/motion and not when setting the blade to the skin, that happened already with the Feather clone), thinking an injector blade in the Alatyr will be a breeze because of the rigidity of the blade. Turned out it needs a slightly different angle.

I'm going to be well aware of my strokes. I'm going to use the Feather PRO blade, rather than one of the guarded ones. I have to say that I'm using a 20-30 degree angle and not laying the blade flat against my face. I found that I can feel the correct angle for my skin/beard.

Anytime you can use a Polsilver in anything, you've got a winner.

Yeah, it was a good shave. I think I'm roughly where you are with shavettes, slowly getting better with each shave and determined to stick at it until the skill is there. I recently bought my first straight and @JamieM has honed it. It was delivered this morning and I'm sitting here willing my stubble to grow faster so I can use it.

I'm still too lazy to go the SR route; can't be bothered with honing and stropping, but I am thinking about a Focus AI, or the Tedalus.Yeah, it was a good shave.

I've got two samples, in a light- and dark brown outer paper, and both were tuggy compared to a Red Personna, Nacet, Gillette Platinum and a Feather in the same razors - Homelike Start 0.90 and the Lemonwald/Haward copy of the Feather AS-D2... Everyone's beard and skin are different, i guess...

UPDATE
I've decided to snap the dark brown in half and try it in the Alatyr, maybe tonight. Impressions after the shave.

Feather SS for two days growth. Just a quick WTG followed by ATG, and I am presentable.
