Thread: First Shave

I just received my first razor, strop, soap, and brush in the mail. Is there a video online that anyone recommends to help me with this first (& 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc) shave? A video of someone slowly shaving their own face and even talking through it would be great. I'd like to minimize the blood loss as much as possible!

also, any instructionals on caring for and stropping the blade would be helpful too.

thanks,
drew

There are tons of videos out there. And in here as well. Do a search for Chimench video, that is a good one. Also search out Jockeys shaving vids. cool stuff. xman has good videos on here as well.

There are many others, you can also check the WIKI out. Some good stuff in there as well. Including videos.

Try this one:
