After a few weeks getting used to this straight razor shaving i decided i was ready to modify my routine. Before straight razor shaving i was a "just shave with water" type guy so i thought id give it a try with my freshly stroped razor. Amazing, i used 0 cream or soap and the results were wonderful. Two tries later and i have for the first time succesfully shaved my entire face without even one little nick. No razor burn either. Im not sure if this is a common thing to do but it works for me and as i am allergic to most soaps this will be my prefered method from here on out!! If you know of anyone else doing this or any tricks to make it smoother let me know.
