I would like to thank all of you and the sites wiki. The last few weeks i have been reading and learning from all of you.

I recieved my SR and strop from RupRazor a few days ago, so with the knowledge you all have passed on i put my learing to action. I showered to soften the beard, used the soap you can get at walmart for my lather, rinsed my SR in hot water and began my journey in learning SR shaving. During this first ever shave i just did one pass WTG, i wanted to obviously take it slow. With all of the knowledge you all passed on I made it through with a decent shave and no blood.

Last night was my second SR shave. This time I did a pass WTG and a pass ATG. Very nice, smooth close shave, so again with your knowledge passed on Im well on my way, thank you.
