Another day, another shave
Well today was #3 with the straight. The technique in stropping and in practice have already went way up. I am still inconsistent, rough and smooth patches, but it is an enjoyable experience. What used to be a 20 minute shower and shave is now 45 minute production, but my skin feels better than ever and it is quite relaxing. Hope everyone is enjoying themselves as much as I am with this, make sure to invest in a styptic pencil those things are fantastic. I still haven't worked up the nerve to rub my alum on my face, I know it will burn like the dickens when I do though.
Thanks
Jared
Another Day, Another Shave
My dear Jared,
You are going about the art of straight razor shaving properly. Have patience. Take your time. Be careful. Not too much pressure. And keep going, for rewards are ahead. Good luck.
Regards,
Obie
