Morning fellows,
I have been browsing this forum for almost a month now and dreaming of shaving with a straight razor. For my birthday two days ago I did, in fact, receive a razor, cup, and strop. Yesterday I used the razor for the first time shaving only from the sideburn to the jaw line as suggested by Lynn. This morning I was a bit excited and attempted to take a run at the majority of the face. I may have nicked myself once but other than that it turned out ok. I missed many spots and know that I have much to learn still but I'm loving where this is going. I do believe that I NEED to get my razor honed; there are many spots that I feel didn't get shaved close enough. Be that as it may, I'm loving this! To wrap this up I'll say how helpful this forum has been to me and how much I still believe I have to learn form it, so thank all of you!
P.S. I'm from the Denver area and am looking for a local honing service/person. If you know any and could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
