Thread: 7 days and counting.....

Thanks guys,

I`m guessing just wiping over with a cloth with some 3 in 1 oil on would do the trick?

Fortunatly my bathroom dosent hold much humidity, by the time i finish shaving 80-90% of the moisture has gone from the air, and i`m the last one in the bathroom before we go to work, so i think storing it in the bathroom shouldn`t be that big of an issue.

Question #5

What do you do is you have a spot or such like? do you shave round it? go over it or grab the old disposable?

Todays the day

BigIan,

Try some aftershave balm (Nivea) on your neck after shaving. That should relieve some of the burn.

BTW...you should expect some razor burn when you first begin shaving with your str8 razor. The skin on your neck and face has to adjust to the new tool you are using on them and your shaving technique is still probably a bit crude as well. Things will get better over time.

Take care--and smooth shaving...

I use a balm from body shop that usually works a treat.

I shal plow on.....
