Whew! Boy, that's was different! At least I didn't slit my throat! OK, I used a Boker 5/8 Injun that was sold to me as shave ready. It was shave ready, but ME? Bwahahahaha!
I managed two passes (sort of). I got one small nick and two small weeps, disappointing because of course we newbies expect a BBS shave the first time right? Thrilled that I got though it in one piece though.
Not as good as my DE (for now),more like a quick shave with my old electric. Lynn, you're right, it's all about the feel of the razor in your hands. It's a dance really and I have two left feet right now.
Some nick relief, a splash of Clubman and I'm good to go. It's a start, and oh, BTW, I'm hooked! Wednesday morning is another day!
