7th Shave and n00b's SOTD pic

Okay... SEVENTH shave with a straight razor now! And I'm getting better! TONNES of thanks go out to all the guys who mentioned LIGHT PRESSURE. Indeed, that has been the key! I'm sure my stropping has also been getting better, but the light pressure makes a WORLD of difference!

So here's my NEWBIE SOTD pic from this evening:

Pre-shave: Just a hot shower tonight.
Brush: Men-U Best Badger (gift from wife)
Razor: Dovo Stainless Steel Ebony
Shave Cream: The Real Shaving Co. (applied directly to brush)
After shave: Nivea Replenish Post-shave Balm
