OK... I tried my first shave today. I must say that i do like this. I tested the razor for sharpness and it cuts hair like butter. I got all ready, showered and got equipment all ready to go. I stropped about 10-12 times keeping the strop nice and straight. Then i commenced to shaving half my face. I have to say Lynn's DVD helped a great deal. During the shave i did notice a bit of pulling.... but i have figured that par out cuz i stropped on the wrong side of the leather. I only nicked myself once so thats good for a start. especially since i almost tore my face off with a Gillette when i first started shaving. My soap also dried up a bit I don't know if thats from slowness or from not enough water.

I can't wait to do it again in a couple of days
