Thread: My first successful straight shave

I've been sharpening my razor myself while teaching myself how to shave and strop properly, with the help of the people on here i got what I consider my first successful straight shave because i got my cheeks and neck to be baby smooth with a razor I sharpened myself. I would get my face completely clean of all whiskers with a safety razor but it hasn't been as smooth as my straight shave was tonight for a couple of years. I'm very excited right now because I thought I would never get a shave this smooth from a straight razor and now I have a new found confidence in my razor.
