    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.

    Awesome! I'm looking forward to my Dovo that's on its way to me right now. I had a not so pleasant experience with the cheap-o no-name razor I bought. So I thought that the poor quality of the shave was largely due to the poor blade, as well as my lack of experience. Can't wait for the mailman this week! haha.
