    Lightbulb 1st str8 nightshave without DE!

    ok..so it's 9:30..after 24 hours of hair growth and a nice coarse layer of hair I decided to compare shaves to my DE/SE blades..My 3rd str8 shave and 1st time no real need for my safety razors..except the left n right side of the center of my neck that's very prickley..how do I get these 2 spots and on my cheeks in a going diagnal direction?

    I'm all showered and opened a bathroom window to get some air in the "ShaveSpace". I strop my str8 7/8 Sheffield razor the way my wife taught me (she swears she has no idea how she knows how to use a str8 but she does, and yes she shaved once perfect score for her for her 1st time EVER)..

    anyways now on to me: I strop'd well and told myself..ok blade..I'm gonna wield you with confidence!..and 4 passes later 2x downward (I was told here its best to minimize the hair before going up against it) and then 2x upwards..I know this sounds alot for beginning but I was confident on minizing how much hair I wanted to end up left before my face said to quit (slight burn)..missed about 4 small areas..XTG (both side cheeks) and 2 sides on lower part of my neck where stubble thorn shavings are (lol) My wife also told me..
    "You Can't Get Perfect Anything perfect 3 times around" I'm sure shes right!..Takes time to get BBS

    Final Result: just as many passes as my DE/SE blades this time except NO Razor burn at all!..my wife was shocked..that plus some new AS Nivia Q10 with SPF15 (wife loved the scent!)

    comments/suggestions appreciated!

    I like my nightime shaves. I always shave around 10pm and go to bed feeling clean. I wake up and the shave is still awesome enough to get me through the entire day without shadow!

    Welcome to the world of str8 shaving...congrats on your BBS shave. It's an amazing feeling.

    I'd also be interested about your post-shave routine?

    Congrats,
