Well, I had my first shave last night with a Landers Frary & Clark razor that I picked up from Lynn. For lather I used the Proraso from Target.
Let me just say that I have a newfound admiration for everyone that shaves with a straight razor.
The sides of my face went pretty smoothly and I was able to get my neck done alright. The chin was a little tougher and it wasn't as close as I'd like. On the second pass, left side with my left hand, I went in at a little too steep of an angle and have a nice little line to show for it :P At that point I stopped and walked around with a strip of toilet paper hanging off my face for the next 15 minutes or so, lol. Also, I think I applied a little more pressure than necessary...on the next one I'll try and lighten it up a little bit.
Next time I'll be a little more patient with myself and go more slowly. I need to learn how to stretch the skin a little better, too...I think that's how I wound up cutting myself.
Anyway...I realize now the endeavor I'm getting myself into. I bet the first shave without a knick or a cut must feel like breaking 80 for the first time in golf:P
