Week 1

Hey fellas, I've been shaving with a STR8 for 7 days now, so I decided to take the next step. For the first time I made WTG, ATG, XTG passes on my entire face. I hit it with a little Pinaud Clubman, and man am I feeling great! This is by far the most superior shave that I have ever experienced, and it is such a joy to do too. My wife isn't home yet, but I know that when she gets here, she won't be able to keep her hands off of my face. Thanks for all of the help over the last week, hopefully some day I'll be able to help someone along the way you've all helped me.

Congradulations on your success keep it up.
Will be up your way Dec.4-11 for skiing.

Good job on your first week. When I started, I used the same progression of WTG, ATG, XTG, but found that changing to WTG, XTG, ATG worked better...might wanna give it a try to see if it's better for you :)

Glad to hear that your straight razor shaving experience is a success. Congratulations.

Nice job. I've yet to go ATG.

I took red96ta's advice this morning and did WTG, XTG, then ATG; what great advice! I thought I had a good shave before, but now even my neck feels like my 5 month old baby's butt. So, any of you out there who aren't quite satisfied with the quality of your shave, try changing up the order of your passes. All of the feedback from this site is so helpful, I'm so glad I found this place.
