    Default 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'll do fine. Short strokes and I don't know about wearing a shirt but underwear for sure.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    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.
