FIRST STRAIGHT RAZOR SHAVE ON XMAS DAY
Hello Everyone,
let me say Firstly Marry Christmas to you all, well I choose today to have my first straight razor shave, so I though I'd let you know how it went after having my shower, ( preparation of brush and everything else I done before hand ) so anyway I lathered up and everything ..so far so good :) them I opened the razor I wasn't scared :w well ....!! anyway I started shaving, the first stroke I made I just took ONLY shaving cream off , then I tried again .. and the same thing as before shaving cream again.. NO HAIR.. I was think what THE HELL..!!, so i angled the blade at that 30° angle or so and it all started to happen.. form there I STARTED TO SHAVE, :yI took my time.. I shave 1st the right side with my right hand then the left side with my left hand (man using the left hand was a bit scary :eek: ) but in the end I got it done. I did not shave against the grain or anything like that because I though I should quit while I was ahead, I will leave that for another day, don't want to butcher myself, but I done two passes with the razor :y and I survived my first shave, I AM SO PLEASED WITH THE RESULT.. this can only get better with practice.:tu
Thank You all for listing

FIRST STRAIGHT RAZOR SHAVE ON XMAS DAY
Gents thank you all for your support,
I have been making this transition from tipple blade disposables for almost a year since my friend told me about straight razor shaving, and while visited many sites to get info. this site fulfilled my every need, I learnt so much here before becoming a member, that mentally I was prepared to use a straight razor in my mind (if you all understand what i mean), this site is incredible.
So thank you Mr Lynn for creating this Mecca of straight shaving.:rock:
when I am lost and have shaving problems I always find the answer here...this is a good thing :D :bow
Thank you everyone :)
