Thread: Never rush your shave.

Hi gents.
Just learning this venerable skill hopefully and have a couple of old blades I have restored that I am learning with.
Learning to hone these blades at the same time as I am learning to use them. Never had a professionally honed straight in my hands or under my thumb to compare too either.
So I am basically learning the most difficult, contrary to suggested ways one can.
That being said I do feel I have developed a fair edge on both blades and have made my left forearm look quite odd with the bald patches along the way.
I've shaved incident free 8 times until this morning when I stepped out of the shower in a bit of a hurry.
Almost grabbed my electric but thought, naw, I had time to use my straight..
I was wrong. Three nice little reminders on my chin to reflect upon over the next week..
I mean sure you read about it, but ya never think it'll happen to you,,,,sob..
Just wanted to share..
cheers.
