Thread: Hello Everyone...a few questions

Welcome to SRP Philippos. Whether carbon or stainless rinsing and wiping the blade after the shave and then doing a few laps on the strop will help prevent corrosion. I also wipe mine with a silicone gun cloth impregnated with a rust remover. Read my sig line below to avoid nicks and cuts.

Welcome to Straight Shaving.

CS or SS, its minor and both should give you a good shave.

Cuts, I cut myself a few times, but these were just surface cuts that amounted to minor scratches and healed over in 48 hours. Part of my issue was that I wasn't use to paying attention to the razor constantly and it would dab my skin causing the cut. 4 cuts later and I didn't cut myself anymore as I smarted up.

I have one cheapy disposable straight razor that can produce a lot of small weepers when I go XTG/ATG, on its first shave, but a good rinse of cold water on my last pass and they close up immediately.

I was commited to leaving my Mach 3 for the same reason and I am so happy I am a straight shaver. Life is so much better!
