Thread: First shave

My first post here. I just got my new straight razor from Billy's Blades at http://www.billysblades.com/ and it is a work of art. It says Krustus Brothers, Germany on the shank. I'm gonna wait till next payday to get my hone, strop and a nice scuttle. I did start shaving with a store brand straight razor that uses disposable blades and already noticed a difference from my mach III (along with a few nicks). I'm using a boar bristle brush which I need to upgrade real soon. All in all, I'm already looking forward to mornings. I still need to get a quality aftershave and really good shaving soap (using Williams Mug Shaving soap at this time) and get my medicine cabinet looking decent again. A good shave gets you ready for what ever the day has to throw at you. I hear people griping about the time change this weekend, I say "let it come!".

Bill does great work. I'm sure you'll get great shaves out of that one.
