This was my first shave with a straight razor. I had read some about how to go about it. Even thought my face might be somewhat bloody after the experience. But it was not. Not even a nick. I bought a Geo. Wostenholm & Sons 9/16 "Peerless" from Gabriel Fanelle . He said it was excellent in the ad. I know when I got it it looked quite nice. So I cut down the right side of my face and it did real well. That was yesterday when i got the razor. This morning I went for a complete shave. I was in a hurry. Finished up with a double edge. Then this afternoon I tried it out again. I liked it real well. For each time I had no cuts, no runs, no drips, and no irritation. But I think I will wait till morning before shaving again. I do need to get some things to put an edge back on the razor though.
