Going to start up with my straight once more
I have not managed to get an adequate shave yet with my striaght, so this morning I went into the Art of Shaving for a lesson. The barber there is a tall man with a beard and shaves with nothing but a straight. He gave me a short 15 minute lesson and has taught me that I was going at this exersize backwards. I have an Illinois strop and was trying to sharpen the blade on the strop. Please, please don't laugh I did not know better. Tomorrow I will go buy myself a hone and get to work. I will need to go in for a second lesson once I have the proper tools on me. I want to use a straight becuase the electric never did an adequate job, cartridge razors made my face look like it had been through a meat grinder, double edges do a great job but can't get under the nose and even out the sieburns. The straight seems to be the only thing that can get all three done peoperly.
Does no one else realize...
that this guy is pulling our monkeytails?
