Ive been on the straights since Christmas and have just been progressing through all the advised techniques.

At the moment because of early starts I strop before I go to bed. Then in the morning, wash face, apply baby oil, lather on face, 1 pass, rinse and apply after shave balm.

I then strop when I finish work.
I get a good enough shave to last to early evening.

Now the weekends are a different story, minimum 1 hour of face pampering!
