Finally....my first BBS shave!

So I am so excited I had to make a new post about this.....yesterday was by far the best shave I've ever had since starting using a straight. This past July I found out about straight razor shaving, and I began shaving with the stuff early August. I spent about $75 and picked up a razor from someone here on the forum, and got everything else from Larry. Admittedly, I only shave about 2x per week (the advantage of youth, lol) but it has taken me this long to get a real nice shave. I still missed a small section of hair beneath my chin, but hey, everywhere else is good!

Ironically, and I'm not sure if this is bigger than just my school, but every November has become "No-Shave November" for a lot of my friends.....they go the entire month without shaving.

They obliviously don't know what they're missing!

Congratulations! Guess what...it only gets better. Then you start experimenting with different soaps, brushes, razors, aftershaves...get the point? Shave on...

Awesome. I find that, after the first month, I am starting to appreciate this art more and more. I am also over the beginners foibles with technique, so my confidence is improving. Congrats on getting a great shave!

Way to go! Its only gets better and more efficient. Then there is the pleasure of trying out all the great choices that go into a great straight shave.

Congrats! It's great when a shave comes together so nicely. Keep it up!

Allow me to add my congratulations as well.

Remember...Its not the quantity of the shaves, but the quality of the shave that counts.

Fantastic ! It really does only get better. You may have your good days and your GREAT days, but overall you will find yourself looking forward to shaving like never before. jhenry hit the nail on the head, quality not quantity, thats the ticket. Ken

Congrats man! It only gets better.
