    Paul,

    I feel great sympathy for your problems; please don't give up, as straight shaving is a wonderful thing, and it would be a loss if you were put off by this bad experience.

    Best of luck !

    Have fun !

    Best regards

    Russ

    I was going to add a link to the post about my first attempts in straight razor shaving (photos and all), but decided it probably would only scare you.

    What I would like to say is that many of us have been right where you are at now, and that it has been well worth the initial trials of learning the skill.

    Hang in there and don't feel too bad about the experience.

    I have seen these pictures and if anyone knows I would say Kentriv knows.\
    I have been at this for more than 15 years and I can tell you that it takes time. It doesn't happen over night. Be patient, learn all that you can, and take it one step at a time. Without SRP it took me about two years before I got consistent results but unlike me, you have a considerable amount of experience and information at your fingertips. you'll be right as rain in no time if you practice and read whats here at SRP.
