Hi guys,

I'm new here, and just finished my second shave. Well, my first shave without significant blood loss!

It went quite well. I'm using a cheap Shavette right now, with a Parker on order.

I nicked myself once on a spot on my chin thats prone to it, even with a mach 3. Other than that, I'm really happy.

I did end up with a fair bit of what looks like razor burn. I'm hoping it improves with the new razor, and better quality blades.

Any tips for reducing razor burn?

I lathered up really well, with Proraso soap, which I'm really digging, and followed up with some lotion.

Not bad just a little redness in some spots. I made two passes in some spots, which might have done it.

I may eventually go to a true straight later on in the year. Theres just too much going on right now to invest the time into learning.


Anyway, great site!!! I'm looking forward to my next shave.
