Hi,
I have been a lurker for some time here and I am gradually making the transition from the DE world to Str8s so I thought it about time to say HI! I picked up a shave ready razor some time ago but after my first attempt decided it wasn't for me.
Well.... I tried it again on Friday, after a very careful review of the guides here and have shaved with the straight for the last 4 days. Only one minor nick but otherwise very nice! :rock: I am also using both hands which is a huge adjustment but seems to work better for me than trying to do my entire face with just my dominate hand.
I have a ways to go before I am close to the BBS shaves I am used to with my DEs but I am much more confident now.
I look forward to learning from all of you!
Thanks,
Tim.
