Landmark event!

Well guys today as the first day I got it ALL with the straight razor and didn't have to go back and touch anything up with my cartridge razor. I think this was about my 4th or 5th shave and it all came of clean, even under my nose and chin. :rock:

I have come to beleive that a very large part of this is psychological. You just have to do it enough that your mind lets you be at ease with it and get comfortable doing it.

It still isn't the closest shave I have ever gotten but it is getting better with practice.

Congratulations! It's a great feeling the first time you have a complete a full straight razor shave without using any backup methods. Keep at and before long you'll get the close shave you have always wanted.

Congrats! And yes, at times a big part of it is all in your mind and confidence. :)

Congrats! Keep it up!

Congrats! I did that yesterday! It is a great feeling.

Good stuff. Now the fun begins.

Congrats! I've been going for a little over a month now and it is a good feeling to finally get there.

Careful on the confidence, I got a few little nicks while learning the first few days, but my first real CUT about two and a half weeks in after getting good shaves for quite a while. Just dont get too confident, respect that blade!
