    Smile My first straight razor shave was...

    ...excellent!

    Quite an experience. You kinda lose yourself in the process. Zen. I don't know if others feel the timelessness of it, but I certainly did. I'm finally looking forward to shaving again. I got my razor honed by Oz in Sydney and he gave me some good tips and did a great job! Thanks to everyone in the SRP for making me feel more than welcome!

    This is my Dovo Forestal:

    Glad it went well for you, Cracker.
    Now you understand what we are on about here - the relaxation and Zen of the shaving experience.
    I wish you many more.

    I feel most "in the moment" when the Styptic first contacts a cut.

    Thanks Oz. I didn't clear the goatee. I wanted to get good with the easy bits first! I will likely keep the goatee but narrow it a bit! Fancy talking 'hair' with blokes Thanks for the hone btw.
