first full straight shave
OK I finally did it after shaving just the sides I went all the way for the first time. I must say that there was far less bleeding than I thought there was going to be. Most were small nicks more than anything. The stiptic pencil got put away without being used. I love it. My wife loves it. Now she is asking if she can have a straight for her. Not sure if I should be happy for the excuse to look at razors again of if I should hide mine from her. Or maybe both, Any way I wanted to thank every one on this site if not for your help I would not have made it this far. Also with out the generosity of a couple on this site for sending me a strop and a real shave ready razor I also would not be here.
thanks for the encouraging words
I thank you all for the help. I only did one pass for now still not feeling steady enough to go across the grain or against the grain yet. I will slowly work up to it.
Great idea on the getting one for the wife and six or seven backyups. I could even find some back ups for her that way I get to up the number in the collection and its not all for me. :rolleyes: I love the little quote on the bottom of your post Dannyr:tu
