    Default First Shave

    Received my freshly honed razors from Fud this afternoon. So tonight I screwed up my courage and went for it. The razor shaved like a dream, no problems whatsoever. The only problem I did have was not the razor but with establishing the "right" grip due to my physical limitations. (I tore a rotator cuff and it didn't heal properly, so I have some trouble with mobility in that arm, plus I'm blind in one eye). I used the King of Shaves shaving oil and finished it off with some Nivea after shave balm. I did have a couple of weepers, but a nick aid stick and they were taken care of! I'm looking forward to my next shave already, hope it goes as well as this one did!

    Default congrats

    Well like all your other Firsts this will be a great memory... tomorrow you'll gouge a cheek but perservance will win out and soon the limits you think you have with shaving will be non-issues.

    I had some razors done by FUD recently and today was the first time I used one... Much better than my attempts at honing and better than the old barber in my town.

    So let the fun begin.
    Be just and fear not.

    Way to go Freebird

    Remember that philosophist's saying "That which does not slice you open ear to ear, will only make you smoother"

    That's a great 1st shave experience, one I hope lived up to your hopes while you were waiting for the razor to arrive.

    The rest will get better and better. Enjoy!!

    If you are just using a shave oil, try Pacific Shave Oil or Shave Secret, which is available at Wal Mart. Both work much better than KOS, IMO.
