First I want to thank Pinklather for making the purchase of my first sr so great. He really took care of me. your solid gold pink. My razor came in the mail today after I left for work. I couldn't wait to get home and see it. It looked so much better than the pics, I didn't think it was so shiny. After a hot shower I enjoyed a thrill ride of a shave lol! I have been watching all the vids on here and really took my time and put to use all the knowledge learned here at SRP. I know you should only do your cheeks out of the gate but I learn by doing. I have a chin beard so I went slow and just went for it. I'm waiting on soaps so I used Edge shave cream in a tube and nivea cool kick after shave&moisturizer. It did the job and the shave was so nice. The full hollow blade was singing and the 5/8 size worked for me on the upper lip and around the goatee. I'm telling you my face is completely bbs cept for two spots on my neck on either side of my adams apple. but thats a grain problem I will touch up in the morning(11:00 am) I am proud to say I did not let flow the red red vino, but a barely raised mole on my jawline got red. not bad! I'm happy people! I even made a point to really study my face after my last 3 blade plastic wally world razor and that thing never shaved this close. Thank you SRP cheers to my first razor, The first of many, and the first of many great shaves.
