Well I've been shaving for about a week now with the new DE stuff, and so far haven't cut off my head. Actually, it's been going really well. No cuts, a few weepers, and a nice smooth face. So far it's been enjoyable to shave with the DE gear, soap and brush.
One thing I've found that's nice: Nivea Extra Soothing Balm / Sensitive Skin. Most Walgreen, Revco, CVS type drugstores carry it for about $6.50 per bottle. It's very soothing on the face, and has no alcohol. I hate the burn from alcohol based aftershaves.
