Shaved for the second time this morning and I'm loving it!

During this shave I only managed to nick my chin a little, no styptic pencil needed, which is a hell of a lot better than the first shave when I gouged my chin and cut my neck. I also feel some minor razor burn but I assume that could be from not stropping properly yet, not stropping enough, wrong blade angle, and/or going over certain areas a couple times this go around. I assume the brand new strop I have will be better once it has been broken in.

Till I get the stropping down I'm thinking about getting a second razor for when I need to send this one in to be honed. I've already bought 2 more brushes. I can see how this form of shaving can easily get out of control with all the different razors, brushes, and products.

All-in-all I feel I am progressing. I even shaved 15 minutes off my first shave time.
