So I shaved tonight, and got my best shave yet! I had my shower, then lathered up. I stropped my razor for only 5 passes on my pasted strop to touch it up, then 30 passes on my linen, then about 50 on the plain leather. I relathed after all that stropping since I wanted to have fresh lather on my face. It was cutting amazingly! I only did a one-pass WTG, but still amazed at the results. I'm still learning, so I'm happy with a successful WTG single pass. I normally get a little irritation on my neck and on the chin area, but not today! I was extra gentle, applying as little pressure as possible. My razor must be pretty sharp, cause it was pretty effortless to cut the hairs. At one point I checked the razor to see if it was actually shaving, and it was FULL of hairs! So, needless to say, I'm very pleased. I was so pleased when I finished, I seriously wanted to show my face off. I know the shaves are only going to get better from here.
