My first shave
My razor/strop set came today and I just finished my first shave...
It was much easier than I expected it to be!
As per instructions, I didn't apply any pressure and just let the sharpness of the blade do all of the work.
It isn't "baby bottom smooth," but I didn't draw any blood either!
(I did better on the left side than I did on the right side.)
Working around the jaw line still needs a lot of work!

Congrats!
I only really started shaving my jawline the last 6 months, it is a very tricky spot in my experience.

Awesome. Sounds much better than my first adventure. It will get better in waves and then one day you'll try to remember what it felt like to shave "the old way"
Nice job.Last edited by JTmke; 06-10-2016 at 08:14 PM.

Well done. Nice looking kit. The jaw and neck are a challenge, but take your time and you will get there.
