Thread: First shave

Just finished my first shave tonight! I didn't spend a whole lot of time watching videos or anything, so I was a little nervous at first. I started with just my cheeks, since that's what a lot of people recommended, and it just cut through the whiskers like butter. Before I knew it, my whole face was clean shaven. I had to do a little touch-up work with a cartridge razor, but man, it was a great experience. So relaxing, every part of it. Can't wait to do it again!

Good for you, youre just gonna get better and better too. Welcome to srp, what kind of razor are you using?

I believe we all start the same way, congratulations! I am sure by now you are thinking on what to improve for your next shave. Face preparation or a better angle perhaps, it is sort of addictive.

Al raz.

I'm not exactly sure what the razor is. On the box it says "A. Starkenstein New York". It says "Reflex" on the razor itself...it's a 4/8 carbon steel blade. Bought it used on the classifieds, and it came shave ready.

And yeah, I definitely have a ton of improving to do. I'm just glad my first experience didn't leave me too discouraged/bloody to want to keep going with it!

I think its the blood that spurred me on!

Congrats and Welcome...It's nice, you'll actually look forward to shaving, and then their's all the wonderful disorders to look forward too, RAD, HAD, etc...and then's their EBay....

It's amazing how much like second nature it can be isn't it? Well done!

Welcome! Sounds liek a great first shave!
I remember doing just under the sideburns...ok, a little more, maybe this spot here, and here....and then I had done a whole pass. That first shave was scary! I finished with a DE.

Enjoy the trip, it just gets better and better!
