Thread: Looking forward to each shave already....

Congratulations. Keep it up. The shaves will only become better and better with time and continued practice.

Wishing you continued smooth shaving.

Hello, Feebo:

I savor every shave, everything about it, the whole ritual, and can't wait until morning comes to celebrate once more.

Regards,
Obie

Thanks for the links! I`ll have a squidge at those after tea I`m enjoying maintaining the razor as much as the shave actually, much as I enjoy looking after my engravers, the two aren`t too far apart at all. I think I`ll have a bit of a play with different passes then, that sounds like it might improve things As I say though, I`m chuffed already, if I can do a full shave with no problems the rest will come in time Oh and I bought an Alum block..... It said "soothing" on the box. What did I do? I patted it all over my face and spent the next half an hour to hour feeling like I`d used a cheese grator on my face!! lol Not very soothing. I`ll save that for cuts as it`s obviously ONLY meant for! lol I`ll get onto Ebay and buy the barbers block, thanks for that, I`m sure that`ll do for me at first. I meant to ask what oil you guys use actually, I`ve been using Linseed oil from my workshop until I can pick up something more suitable, it does leave a little residue though...

Unfortunatly there`s only one Barbers hone on Ebay and it`s on for auction, I`d rather buy it now" if I can. I`m just having a look at a few similar things now so I thought I`d post them here and ask you guys what you think. Here they are.....

Hmmm..... That`s about all I can find that seems even slightly suitable. I tell you what though, I`ve just had a thought. I`ve got an Arkansas stone here and a few large oil stones too, would they not be suitable?

Straight razor shaving is addictive
