First 'Complete' Straight Shave...

Today was a special SOTD for me...my first 'complete' straight razor shave!

Here's the tool of beard devastation from MSondoval858 (thanks Mike!):

30 passes on the strop plus...

* C&E Best Brush
* Derby Lavender Cream
* C&E Nomad After Shave Balm

Not a bad shave...here's my review:

* Was it as close as my Merkur HD or Progress?...Not yet!
* Did I cut my throat?...Nope...just a couple of weepers
* Am I intrigued?...Yuppers!
* Have I turned to the 'Dark Side'?...Ummmm...maybe...partially!

Congrats Dave!:tu

Feels good, don't it? Keep going. It only gets better.

Nice one! You'll beat those DE shaves eventually.

Dark Side? That would be Gillette surely? :nono:

Congrats! If nothing else you can always say "Back when I shaved with a straight" :)
