Help, I keep touching myself!
My perfectly smooth chin that is.. I was just so amazed this morning, this is my 6th shave with a straight and my face and chin was so unbelievably smooth this morning, I just kept rubbing my cheeks to feel it over and over and over again.
Too bad I don't have a wife to impress yet.
Amazing. Only 1 slight cut (more like an impression, I still have to watch out on some angles/directions) and like 2 minor nicks. I bought a nice alum block and it made the shave even better for me.
Yesterday, I also went with a friend to the koordenwinkel, our local shaveshop, and he was very impressed with it all, so I might be able to convert him to straightshaving as well, huzzah!

Way to go!
Isn't it the best feeling? Lynn has even said that the BBS feeling is addicting! I tend to agree with him.
Good luck on converting your friend.

I know how that is. When I started I told a friend about it. He got excited and I gave him one for his B-day. He still loves to use it when he's got some time.

do you think a 2 side paddle-strop with 1 side pasted would be enough to get started for a beginner?

It worked well for me, and still does. Tony Miller wide paddle with 0.5 micron diamond paste on the back side. It's handy for traveling too.

the touching yourself is known among some as "faceturbating" and it's perfectly natural

Really, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Everybody does it. Originally Posted by LX_Emergency

what amazed me most was that it was 2-3 days of growth and it all swiftly went off with the first pass!
pretty awesome!
But I do like my progression, shaving with the straight is not something I dread but really loko forward to every day.
