OK -

Found my old razor (that was a feat in itself) so out come the hones and the strops and time for the first shave. I must say, that it was kind of like riding a bike. Very smooth shave and very enjoyable. I can't recall why I fell away from it in the first place.

Anyways - a word of encouragement for all the new guys setting out to tray the fine are of wet shaving. ENJOY IT! Don't take anything too seriously. All you need is a good sharp razor and some time. BTW - the videos here on this forum are very good. I encourage everyone to really look around and gather as much knowledge as you can about stropping, shaving techniques, etc. All good stuff.

BUT - the most important thing in my book is remember to have fun!
