Thread: first shave....

yea that all im getting right now is the sides of my face WTG i tried going across today struggled with that havnt tried going against the grain yet. on a side not i was scouring e-pay and comes across a lot of 5 (2)old gillete and (3)GEM saftey razors for about 13$
ill be using one of those for against the grain and on my neck untill i get comftrable with the straight i also tried using a cream instead of a soap. the cream seems easier to get to lather up with the hard water here...im really liking the sandalwood reminds me of the barbershop i go to back home. and Ray i cant wait to try the razor i got from ya it may help being a larger blade since im using the 4/6 henckels right now im waiting untill get better(not just shaving but stroping as well since its been honed by the man himself big Lyn) to pull out the new dovo.

Gongrats on your first shave! Remember to go slow! You are learning an entirely new skill.
