1st and 2nd shaves done, absolutely converted to SR shaving
Okay, so I decided to try out SR shaving. Bought a razor off of ebay (after lots of reading here, and made sure that it is "shave ready"), and got all my soaps and styptic pencil and alum block etc ready. made sure the boys are playing outside and the wife watching her favourite TV program.
Started off, got small nick with my first attempt, as I did not have the whole blade squary on my face, thus more pressure on the toe. REalized my mistake and then went on and shaved my whole face from there (been doing DE for a while now). Was okay, not as smooth as DE, but passable for first try.
Yesterday 2nd shave. Immediately felt more comfortable with razor in hand, shaving went very well. Small nick on chin (involuntarily movement of chin, just as I started to shave there, barely nicked the skin. Went WTG, XTG and ATG. All went very smooth. Very pleased with myself.
Still concentrating very much on angles etc. All areas are okay, to shave the chin is still a challenge, but I will get there.
For interest sake, when you do ATG pass on the cheek, do you switch hands (left hand for right cheek etc) or still R-hand for R-cheek?
Thanks for a great forum, I am converted to SR shaving! Awesome way to shave
