I have no idea how long it will be before I can shave my whole face just with the grain, and not have to finish with my cartridge...

But I really like using a straight razor, and don't care how long it takes. On my second shave with this sharper razor, I'm in love with it. I was a little nervous after the first shave gave me a bite, but I guess those reminders do their job. Once I got going today I couldn't stop at the cheeks, so I got most of the chin too. Wanted to try mustache again, but had a bad feeling about it.

So glad I got the razor from rodb, and can't wait to try the other one coming tomorrow!
