Thread: Holy Smokers, Bullwinkel

I made the hat-trick. Three great shaves in a row w/o the need for styptic. And btw, each shave closer & more comfortable than it's predecessor. Taking my time and enjoying every moment. And when I'm pressed for time, a Derby blade in my EJ DE is also very gratifying. These are two of my favorite things.

Congrats! Well done.

I actually really like just using a straight for the WTG pass sometimes and then finishing with my Merkur DE and a feather blade. Super baby smooth.

Jim,

That sounds great!

It appears that you've got the hang of straight razor shaving. Keep it up.

Quicksilver, This is exactly what I do for now. I am just learning to use shavettes an straights. Ive used a DE merkur for several years. So for now a WTG pass straight then finish with the DE. Been working great an I am finally starting to feel comfortable with it.

Bravo Jim!

The guys aren't joking when they say it just gets better. 'Gotten to where I'd rather not shave than not use a str8, though often, I'll settle for decent instead of wonderful. You're on your way to the best shaves of your life.
