Thread: the continuing struggle

pateiince and focus are so important to me when shaving. I only been shaving recently w/ a striaght but it seems to be giogn well. I feel when im in a rush it really ruins the experinece aand also i cut my ear (dont ask) haha. so just take your time and focus on what is in your hands and all will come to you . =D

LMAO...did that one this weekend...

I am just getting started with straight razor shaving also. I think the nightshaving idea is a good one since you can take your time shaving, also any nicks you get at least have a chance to heal over night. But the taking your time part is the key here at first.

have you looked at any of the youtube videos? that has really helped me get an idea of how I want to go about this. No, I have not even done my first shave yet, but watching maybe...10? people shave has gotten me feeling like I can do this. And I'm actually practicing with my left hand just with a safety razor for now. Just to get used to the idea of using my left hand with a mirror. I'm sure I'd be writing from the grave soon enough if I obscurbed my vision at all with wrapping my arm around. Much props to those that are able to do that...

Thanks again for the great answers - I don't get on here very often & sometimes it can take me a week or so to read & respond...

I actually have taken about a week off, using a M3 & focusing on lather - getting some good results there...
