1st Professionally Honed Shave Microscope Pics- Whipped Dog
Hi Folks! I was self taught about 14 years ago and it was a mess. My honing hobby & recent acquisition of Chosera's inspired me to take another stab at straight razor shaving. Also, the craft of it just appeals to me. I started up again and made all the newb mistakes and will probably continue to due so :gaah:. After some really bad razor burn with a restoration I decided to slow down, and try shaving Lynn's Beginner style. So I got myself a Whipped dog site unseen and took my baby steps. Interestingly, my Fox restoration does well on the sharpness tests but is not as comfortable to shave with as Larry's blade. I shaved the two cheeks different to test my technique and results: one side was 2 WTG passes (top pic) and the other is 1 WTG & 1XTG (bottom pic). I want to let me face rest and see how it feels later in the day. I'm trying to find that balance between closeness of shave and comfort. Suggestions?
