Thread: First Straight Shave

My first few shaves were similar to yours. Be patient and keep at it. It takes a little time to get a feel for wielding the razor. Your skin will also have to adjust to the process. The DVD should give you a good place to start on the chin. Enjoy!

I just finished my second straight shave yesterday (which hurt more than the first so yeah, I know what you feel )

I'm confident it's just a passing thing though


At least my shaves have been somewhat presentable (though I really have to be able to shave against the grain to get a decent one, was that way with my M3 as well). I do know that I only shave in the evening to counter any possible OMG it runs like a fountain!!! bleeding scenarios that cause me to lose time/get late to work.

Anyway, good luck.

Thats how it is with me. I have always shaved against the grain (didnt know any better plus it gave me a real close shave)

I seem to have trouble getting the grip right on the razor when shaving 'uphill' - it looks like I'm swordfighting the invisible man

Download Lynn's shaving video from the help-files. It will help a lot with the technique.

I've been looking for a place to buy his dvd, but I scoured his website and couldn't find anything.

Anybody can tell me where I can get his dvd?

Probably a bit late now but you can order it online at classic shaving

I ordered the dvd directly from lynn via PM now, thx.

I just pm'd him direct, and paid via Paypal. Remember that the shipping is a little more to Europe.

ok, I did that as well. Why didn't I think of PMing him
