    Default One month into SR shaving.... and the verdict is?

    Awesome.

    Every time I shave it gets better and closer. I haven't had to pick up my styptic in over a week (knock on wood). I'm trying all kinds of different grips and passes to get that super smooth skin.

    I have two jobs, accountant and whitewater raft-guide and at both jobs people have commented on my appearance. Here is a link to me on the river today: (I'm the cleanly-shaven guy in the back of the raft wearing a blue PFD and sticking my tongue out)

    I just want to thank everybody on this site for their advice and great humor, you've helped make this a wonderful experience!!!

    One problem, I'm totally addicted to the classifieds and find myself checking them at least 10 times a day, hoping for that great deal.... alas, I know there are a ton of you out there buying first!!!

    Best,
    Jeff

    Glad to hear you're doing so well. My only advise is don't get too comfortable and continue to to learn. 3 months into this and I'm still learning more. Cool photos, Do you ever get to the TN side of the mountains to raft or whatever. I don't do the whitewater to often but I do like the Ocoee. Hiking and camping is more my speed. One day I want to see me and my razor on a stream up in the back country. Congratulations, keep up the good work.

    I used to work on the Ocoee a few years ago. It's a fun river and the people that work it have a good time. I've worked on 7 rivers around the Southeast and it's one of my favorites. I love East Tennessee and Western North Carolina, some of the prettiest country in the US. I'm up there at least ten times a year, either rafting, hiking, kayaking, biking, skiing, or just hanging out with friends.

    If you are thinking about getting another razor, consider one with a different grind-- I have a 1/4 hollow, 1/2 hollow, and fulll hollow-- they all feel really different and it is nice to have the contrast in the rotation.

    +1! I find myself checking the classifieds several times a day, despite the fact that I'm broke. I'll tell you what though, I am really learning to appreciate what makes a good razor!

    Welcome aboard, and keep it up!
