Thread: First Week Over - Thanks SRP

Okay, so my first official week of shaving ended today and it's been a roller coaster. I have to say that at the beginning there was a lot of discouragement as I nicked and cut myself, but thanks to SRP and reading about everyone else's journeys, I've finally relegated myself to the fact that I can't master this in a couple days.

Today was my best shave so far. I keep a beard, but I'm finally doing a full shave solely with the straight, and today even got a few ATG swipes, but not full passes. On my cheeks, I'd even say that I'm pretty close to BBS, but not exactly there.

I've acquired two more razors, one of which arrived yesterday and one I'm still waiting for. Anyway, that's been my week. Thanks to all the helpful folk here. I hope you'll all be as helpful when I need help paying my bills because of the RAD I caught here.

Well done, it's satisfying to be able to see, feel, and even hear progress.

Keep on truckin' practice does make perfect.

Sorry,you'll get no help with the bills,but you will get to see an endless array of razor related articles that you will want really,really bad.RAD is only one of the AD's you will get.However,it's fun and addicting and the members helpful.Remember,it's a long,slow learning curve to this so take your time and you don't need to get a three-pass BBS shave right away.It took some of us months to get to that.

Keep on truckin! You're on the road now.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I'm definitely hooked.
