First Time Shave, good start, upset ending
So I finally received my strop, purchased some shave soap at the farmer's market today and was ready to start my first shave.
I used the soap to get started and shaved my right and left side burns, as I was advised to start off with only that. It truly was a different experience, thrilling because it was so new to me. After the right side, I tried my left, but it took me a while how to best approach the shave since I'm right handed. I finished off with my regular razor and good tell a difference.
Good overall experience, no nicks, blood, or irritation. However, after I was done I cleaned the blade, washing off some of the soap that got on it and then it happened. I dropped that blade, it smacked the counter and fell to the floor. I guess I picked it up on an area with soap I did not notice. So part of the cutting edge got nicked, it's small but I'm ****ed with myself. I tried stopping it with the pasted side of my strop, but it still pulls a bit on the strop. :boohoo:
