Thread: first few shaves

Coldcut,
I would like to echo what many of the other members here have said... keep at it and you'll get better. I'm only a few shaves ahead of you and I already feel surer about my shaving and am getting better results. I also started with my straight and then finished up with my Fusion... and after a few shaves (around 6) I noticed I wasn't having to pick up the Fusion to touch up or finish my shave.

I would also echo the part about how important proper stropping is... I got a razor from Whipped Dog and wore the heck out of the edge by putting too much pressure on the razor as I was stropping. It’s back out for touch up even as we speak and I’ll probably send my Dovo (which I got shave ready) out after I get my Wade & Butcher back to put a good edge back on it.

The shaves just get better and better and I wish you fun on your journey.

They already are gettin better!!!.... Ive been staying on my dominant side with the SR and finishing with shavette. This may sound crazy but ive been workin on strop technique with a leather belt and a butter knife just to get some muscle memory goin
