    Stretch your skin tight and you won't get cut... go slow and carefull, use both hands. After a month or so, you'll be loving it!

    Well, today was a success. I must be doing something wrong. Shaved entire face, with exception of mustache. Just one small cut on chin. I do need a better balm though. All I have is an old bottle of Polo balm, not bad. I like the razor I got from whipped dig, but I think I would like a wider blade eventually.
    I can see this becoming a habit.

    Sounds like you are off to a good start It took me weeks before I could get even close to an acceptable shave (Usually I'd shave 3 passes with the SR then have to re-shave 1 pass with the DE just to look good enough to go to work)

    I too got the whipped dog special to get started with, it's a great deal! Now I seem to have gotten a mild case of SRAD LOL

    Wink new as well

    I just got into straight razor shaving as well, have to agree with you on the Whipped Dog compliments. I did not do the sight unseen kit, but sent Larry a razor I found on eBay after doing some research. Very reasonable price for honing (only $13 with return shipping included) and from my completely inexpert perspective the edge seems great. Just completed my third shave with the razor (a vintage from Shumate Razor) and I am starting to get the hang of it a little bit. Best of luck to you as well!
