Thread: my first straight razor shave

I definately wished my whiskers grew faster!
Gotta' get me some WHISKER FOOD :P
Now I'm torn between shaving and letting my nicks heal a bit...

Great job-!! Just take your time & learn how to do it right. It will take a few months before you get it juuussst right. SRP will keep you going on the right track. Good luck

Congrats on your first shave, it does get better and don't be in a rush. How many times I have heard that, but it is so true. It took me 4 months to get my first really good shave, without a nick or weeper. Hang in there, take your time, get a good razor, don't tell your wife or girl friend how much this stuff really costs, don't let her rush you out of the bathroom (btw that was my worse nick), and go slow.

Have fun

And don't let her barge in the bathroom if you shave commando That's another one you don't want to explain

There is a saying here 'never shave naked' those razors are pretty sharp . . .

I'm another one who used to shave daily when I started, now I'm on a 48 hour cycle. I probably could shave everyday, but it would be a ATG pass on most of my face with a WTG then ATG on my chin and upper lip - I wait the extra day and enjoy the time it takes.

Good on you and keep persevering i have been at it for a few months and still have not perfected it although getting less cuts now, A good tip is try not to loose your concentration as i did or get over ****y as it leads to nice bleeding cuts lol.

Congrats on your first shave, and Welcome to the club.
