Congrats!
Nice to hear you finished your first full shave.
What set up did you have and how did you prep?
What about your razor? I always love to see everyone razors and see what kind they are because they are all so beautiful!
Congrats! it's a great feeling to see yourself advance on the "straight and narrow". way to go!
Congrats!! It just gets better now... :beer1:
I started 9 days ago with a str8 razor and am not quite doing 50% of my face. Each day I learn a little more. Taking it slow, but looking forward to a complete shave.
Well done!
Just keep at it and enjoy the ride, and you'll be getting BBS shaves in no time..!

I start by showering, washing my face with Nivea face wash, one more face wash with Musgo glycerin soap, I try not to rinse all the Musgo off. I use T&H Lavender cream or Proraso keeping it warm in my Moss Scuttle. So far I just do the one pass finishing up with my Feather SS.I rub my face with a Razor Rock, after shave and Nivea balm.
That's the best way to go. CongratulationsQuote:
