Dont leave it too long between shaves.
Hi All, Over in in merry old england we dont really get harsh winters, but because i work outdoors each year on the last day of september i stop shaving, this year i think it was a bad decision,
I was only 3 months into learning to shave with a straight, i was on the whole doing well, my attempts at face scraping were now less bloody than the somme and my face had ceased to look like it had done a couple of rounds with mr kruger.
I could shave have a smooth result with only the odd nick here and there, and my face was happy with this.:)
Then came winter or what passes for it over here, 4 damp dark dingy grey months of none weather later, i was told to go and shave or move in with the dog.:(
So I shaved, thinking i'll be fine, let me tell you i was not, i prepped, lathered, stropped and shaved my way to a face that is in tatters and is really not talking to me at all.:dropjaw:
My skin had gone soft ive got razor burn that would give the surface of the sun a run for its money in how hot it is.
So a plea to all other newbies, dont leave it long between shaves, it has two major drawbacks, it upsets your wife and upsets your face, the first i can live with the second i cant.
chin chin, just of to the ice draw for a chill session.
