Hey guys,

So I just tried out my new razor from SRD and I have to say.....I was intimidated. Lathering up and bringing the blade ever close to my face made me nervous, but excited!!! I took it slow, only did one side burn tonight and did an angle less than 30 degrees just to ease into things. Thought it better to learn to walk before I ran. At any rate, I did it, cheek is nice and smooth but can still see a "shadow". I plan to get closer to 30 degrees as I get more comfortable and eventually find the balance between the right pressure (I hardly used any, hence the presence of a shadow) and the right angle to get the shave I'm looking for. Can't wait to keep working at this, I'll continue using my 5 blade razor during the week for work but, when the weekend comes around.....time for the straight razor!!!

Cheers
