Today was my first shave with a straight razor!

Overall I think it went pretty well!

I got my shave ready Genco from heavydutysg135 and prepared myself as normal for a DE shave. I have a strop on order from Tony but David said the Genco was good for 1 maybe 2 shaves without stropping. After watching several videos and Lynn's several times I sat forth.

Seemed a little awkward at first but quickly became used to the blade. I shaved the sides under my sideburns and a little on my neck all WTG.

I did nick myself once not from shaving but not being used to the length of the blade I caught a bit of skin on my left cheek. A little styptic and good to go.

Finished off with my DE.

Thanks David for a great razor!!
