    Default First time shave

    Firstly, I'll introduce myself, my name is Justin, and I'm a 26 year old guy from Georgia.. I found this place from Google.
    So, I received my first straight in the mail today.. I bought a rugra on the classifieds here from Dylan for $30. The blade was nicely honed and sharp, and everything went off without a hitch ^_^. No cuts, only one dot of blood, which Is less than I usually get with a disposable (I guess I have sensitive skin). It was an excellent experience to say the least, and afterwards I had no irritation as I usually get with the disposable. I was a little confused on how to properly hold the thing though, guess that is something I will get used to.. but the whole process only took about 15mins which is less than I expected for the first time.. Also I like how it lines up my beard (I only shave my cheeks and neck, keeping the full sideburn/jaw/goatee part) along the jaw with a nice and neat line. Thanks for the info and I will keep in touch

    Great to hear from you! I actually just had my first SR shave today as well, so I'm right there with you. I lurked this site for quite awhile before starting, so I'm confident that the great group of guys here will be a huge help to us both as we progress. Good luck, and feel free to PM me anytime if you want to commiserate over any newbie blues!
