Well......since this seems to be the "first shave" thread.......I'll throw my name into the mug !

First (serious) try tonight with a straight (actually two).

From past posts, you know I have a new T-I, and a seriously old Case.

Tried them both tonight (Saturday, Feb. 2, 2008 @ 10:20 pm).

Lathered up with G.F. Trumpers Sandalwood cream....(I really wanted this to be a special occasion), and God as my witness, I tried to do everything EXACTLY as Lynn did in his video......hot towel......(even over the lather).......EVERYTHING !

Started with the T-I.........after I realized that wasn't going "according to hoyle", I switched to the Case.

OK, "Pro's & Con's"......I didn't cut myself !.......It WAS pretty enjoyable......It WAS relaxing (especally the hot towels)......HOWEVER !

I didn't shave myself !........When I use my Sensor II, I can get close to "Baby-Butt", but my try tonight left my face just as stubble-faced as when I started ! ! !

Can't understand it.........I honed & honed & honed & stropped & stropped & stropped until I was SURE they were as good as they can get !

(Is it possible to get razor-burn without actually taking any whiskers off) ?......if it is, I think I might have at least accomplished that ?
