Thread: Ninety Shaves Retrospective

Wow, you put a hell of a lot into your first post. You certainly have done your homework and hopefully you won't wait for another 90 shaves before you post again.

Awesome post and welcome!

Thansk for sharing your experience so far! Please, share more before you get to the one year mark.

Very intriguing first post! Welcome to SRP and you seem to be on the right track so keep at it. It gets better each shave!

Welcome to SRP. Great post. I hope we don't have to wait another 90 shaves for the next post.

Very encouraging post. I am on my fourth week and am still struggling to get a "good" shave. Like you, I am persistent yet patient. An occasional well shaved chin makes me proud and reminded that I can do this.

40 minutes shave...I was wondering if it was just me. Sometimes I enter the bathroom and return over an hour later (bath included) and wonder how long I can do this. Nevertheless, I look forward to the shave each day.

When I started with a str8 in Dec, I took 45 min just for the shave. I think that is a normal time in the beginning. Now my shave takes 20 - 25 min. As you gain experience, your time will decrease. There are guys that can str8 shave in 10 min. What's the rush? I'm happy with a 25 min shave.

Appreciate the kind responses. The post was obviously meant to be cathartic and hence its length.

Forty minutes does seem like a long time. Not being particularly interested in efficiency I have never broken down the time for each segment of the shave routine.
