Best Shave Todate
Hi all you straight shavers out there.
It's been about 6 weeks now and about a dozen shaves now. This morning after a shower and no time pressure I got out the straigt razor ( ford & medley ) with taylor of old bond street sandalwood shave cream. I did a three pass shave. Well having not used the razor in about 4 days due to an early shift I felt a bit rusty, I took my time, 20 mins and was rewarded with a very good close shave the best yet and only a very minor nik. It funny how you can look forward to a shave especially with a razor which initially frightened the life out of me. It's not quite up to my DE standard yet but great fun know that I have tamed the dragon ALMOST ! :rock:

Hi Westminster,
Congratulations. Yes, I have found that each week or so I can notice how much better I was than the previous week. Sometimes I have major breakthroughs like you had. Sometimes I backslide a little. On the whole, I see progress.
I'm glad you are, too.

Congrats on your first nice shave. They will keep getting better as you gain experience with your razor. Eventually the DE won't give you as good a shave as the Str8, but in a rush and for traveling, they are nice to have around.

Great job Westminster.:beer1: But beware! Just when you think you have the dragon tamed, he breathes his fire and bites you.
