Thread: my first straight razor shave

Wow, what great responses. This really seems like a great community!

I did lather up again, but then I think it was a bit too wet, althought better than drying up...I hope there is some sort of middle ground... I used to just use a gilette mach2 (or was it 3) and shaving gel and usually I showered/washed my face afterwards

Can't wait to shave again, although I might have to wait untill tomorrow because my whiskers don't grow that fast...

I think, like me, you wish your whiskers grew faster to warrant a shave more often. The change over has been an interesting experience and rather than shaving being a chore, I find it quite relaxing.

Have you heard about this new product called WHISKER FOOD! I hear it is the greatest stuff. Just take one dose daily and your whiskers grow like there is no tomorrow. Great for those of us who like to shave , now that we have discovered the world of str8s. Available soon at a store near you.

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
