Thread: first shave questions

Hi, you've had some good answers already so I'll just say welcome. Don't be discouraged, there is a learning curve, angle of the blade is very important at the start. Good luck.

There are a few "Givens" in life, or No Brainers. If the razor you have has the little white paper on it, certifying that it was honed by Lynn, rest assured, your razor is more than shave ready. His honing skills are what the rest of us shoot for, or use as a bench mark.
Just keep at it, The good shaves will come, and it will be something you will look forward to. Welcome....

As said above, just relax and keep at it, the best things in life dont tend to come as quick fix, and that more than includes str8 shaving.
Right guys??

I was like you initially thinking where's this great shave everyone was going on about.However through reading lots of info on this forum i kept going and the results kept improving,onething that made a big difference for me was letting the stubble grow for a couple of days and also using a damp flannel heated in the microwave for 30 secs(take care they come out hot!!)Also the angle you shave at will become second nature.Good luck for your future CLOSE shaves
