Hi Gang,

I must post because I am quite excited with today's shave. Some who read will remember me from the Chat last Wednesday night.

My first experience was awful, as i mentioned too many of you on the chat. I told you I have been shaving others with a straight for years and I am just starting to shave myself with a straight razor, and why is it harder to shave myself? Well, based on tonight's shave, it was the angle.

I guess when I am shaving patrons it is easier to shave with the right angle but when I tried shaving on me I thought the angle was right but apparently it was not. Tonight I tried steepening the angle and I must say it was the best shave ever. Compared to anything I have ever used. I still have some areas to work on and I am still waiting for my REAL straight razor ( i used a shavette) but for my second shave I think it is awesome.

Well thanks guys for the tips and I will keep you posted. I am new hear so sorry about not being able to name the ones who assisted me in the chat the other night but you know who you are.

THANKS,

Brent
