First FULL Shave

Hey, guys.

Just completed my first FULL-FACE shave. I've lost count, but I think this was my FIFTH shave with a straight. I worked up to the full-face as many here have suggested. I was feeling pretty comfortable with the cheeks & neck, so I decided to go for the whole thing today.

It wasn't pretty, but I got the job done with minimal damage. A few little weepers on the mid-chin and a few little patches where I missed some whiskers under the nose, but I think this was a big leap forward in my skill.

Hopefully things will continue to improve as they have been. Just bought a nice barber's hone to keep my razors nice and sharp.

Congrats. Just keep taking your time and it will just keep getting better:beer1:

Ryan,

Congrats...

As for the weepers...That comes with the territory. As you become more proficient the number of nicks and cuts should decrease. Just take it slow and easy, perhaps addiing a few more minutes to your daily shaving routine with your str8 razor.

Take care...

Great job and keep going! You are on your way!

Thanks for the encouragement, guys.

Shaving every other day right now to give my skin a little healing time. Hope to be shaving every day within a few months.

Congrats mate! Always remember the first shave :D

Very nice! That is a great feeling to get through that first full one is it not?

Like was previously said, the weepers come with the territory.
