I did a complete shave WTG and a few strokes ATG and XTG. Clean face! I followed Lynn's most excellent advice and really enjoyed it! No blood loss! I did use some of my old can shave cream because I still need to practise and work on my lather technique. I am so satisfied with the results and the wife seems pretty happy with that BBS smoothness I got goin on now! Thanks for this excellent forum. I have also made a razor purchase from one of the guys here and can't wait to try that out!
That first complete shave is a major accomplishment and it will only get better. Glad it went so well. Keep up the good work.
:rock:
Congratulation on your shave!
Keep us updated on how you are doing.
Good work, and with no blood loss is even better. It's a nice feeling isn't it. Keep up the nice work.
That's awesome!
It truly is a feeling of accomplishment when you get that sweet sweet smoothness the Straight can give.
Keep at it, with proper lather and an even more refined technique you will be amazed at just how great it can be!!
Excellent man!!
I'm still working up to the chin, but I hope to work my way up to where you are!!
Great job!!!
Congratulations on the shave. It feels great when you know you are getting the hang of it.
congrats on the progress! before you know it you'll be doing a three pass shave like it's second nature. keep at it!
Yeah, a good WTG shave is great. No razor burn, not completely smooth but it is a super great feeling. I get a great shave when I shave every three days. Any sooner than that, I tend to break out or get a little rashy, but hey thats just me. Goodluck with an ATG, kind of difficult aspecially for a while. I have only been doing this for about 5 months now, so if that tells you anything.....like I have alot to learn...haha. Well anyways enjoy.
Congrats! Had a bad experience with my first XTG shave and haven't been back yet. Been straight shaving for about 2 months now. The chin is so hard!
