Tomarrow Am's In sight

Well, My razor and strop are in.. I've watched the video 3 times.. I've read everything I can find and I think I've got it...

Beard prep with shower or hot towels
Pre shave cream or oil
Make a nice lather
Apply generously and leave on a minute or so
Stretch the skin
Shave WTG first time and don't worry about BBS in the begining
Small strokes or long, different for different folks
Don't Shave naked!!
Wear a shirt
Take your time
Don't be nervous... you've got to be kidding that's one sharp razor i'll try not to shake!!
Keep styptic pen near by
After shave with witch hazel? Maybe.... maybe not...

Truly can't wait to give it a try... wish me luck!!

Maq

You only forgot one thing...the huge grin you're going to wear the rest of the day! We await your report.

Good luck with it! :gl:

You'll do fine. :rock: Short strokes and I don't know about wearing a shirt but underwear for sure. :eek:

Good luck and rememer not to force it.

If you wish to opt for a overkill, hot towel after the 1st apply of lather, wipe it off with the towel, relather and shave.

Good luck! Don't have great expectations at first. New skills will develop quickly & it'll keep getting better.

Wait, why wear a shirt?

I shave in a towel. Means I don't have to hold a towel for wiping the razor.
