Night and Day

[dyimages]

So if you had read any of my posts I was lacking in the paitents department and started shaving with my 2 striaght razors after honing on a Barbers stone and trying to strop them. I was pretty pleased with the results 7 shaves in. Outside of a minor nic here and there and a touch of razor burn I felt I was getting the hang of it with no significant blood loss.

Last night I had MAXI hone both my razors for me. This morning I just needed a touch up so did a quick (as quick as a newb can be) WTG. WOW is all I can say. Such a huge difference. The razor just glided so smooth and effortlessly accross my mug. So smooth in fact, my first reaction was it was not doing anything. Then I looked at the smooth patch down my cheek and realized OMG this is what it is supposed to feel like.

Not sure how anyone can go a few days without shaving when it feels this good. I kinda wish I was one fo those people that needed to shave twice a day right now.

Huge props to Maxi for the job he did and time he spent teaching me so much about the maintenance and techniques.
