So i sit home anxiously waiting for my razor from SRD to arrive but weather
has it coming a bit late. I already had soap and all ready to roll.
I get my Ralf Aust 6/8 out of the box and wow. Its is pretty.

now since ordering i had watched countless videos and read alot on technique, ect and felt fairly confident i would still have my ears afterward.

So i prep, chill and get ready to enjoy.... The blade touches my face and all of a sudden i get a bit of "Oh Hell" nerves. Ok the 1st pass ( ever i remind) was a little slow and unsure, but no blood in sight. ( whew)

So decided to do another wtg pass. ( practice practice) the 2nd was much easier and nerves were gone. Went for the hat trick. 3rd was a mix cross grain and wtg. But .... My face remains intact

anyway ,best shave i have had in years ( and def i can improve technique).

thanks for all the info you fellas have posted helped a ton!
