Just got my razor back from being honed by Lynn, also picked up his DVD. Watched his DVD and was very enthused by its content.
Anyways my first attempt at straight razor shaving was a blood bath, so I took Lynn's and other's advice and just tried to shave my right side burn area. Wow that was smooth shave there. No nicks no runs no errors. I rinsed and wiped the blade and decided since that went so well I would try a little bit more. Than pop the tip caught me twice just little nicks vertical ones. It has to be the tip of this square point razor catching me.
Is it easier or more forgiving to use round point when first starting to shave?
