Making Progress!

Hello All,

I am happy to report that I am making progress with this whole Straight Razor method. My shaves are consistently improving and I am getting more comfortable working on those tricky areas like under my nose and the sides of my mouth.

I have only done with the grain shaves so no BBS shaves but no discomfort either. Today I did venture briefly against the grain on my neck trying to figure a good grip for that one.

Thanks once Again for all the help and I feel pretty confident this will be how I will shave from now on

Have a great night!!

Jonny

Glad to have you in the SR club Jonny!
It can be a bit of a task to learn but when you get it down, it starts to become natural to you. The different ways of holding the razor will become easier. Just keep it up. It can be a bumpy road at times but it all smooths out like a freshly paved highway and you will enjoy the extra time spent getting a great shave.
Some people may think your crazy for doing it but just remind them that its pretty damn manly to shave you face with the sharpest thing on the planet beside a sword!

Slow and easy. It's not a race.

Glad to hear you're making progress, it's not a race, it's a journey.

Just remember one thing, no matter the direction, just shave the lather and take it slow and easy
