Thread: I've created a monster...

Hello All,

After my first professional shave, I just had to get a straight razor. It arrived today shave ready (Thiers-Issard), and I am jumped in without hesitation. Ouch: blood within 2 seconds; this is taking forever; so long I have to re-lather; another nick; dry again...re-lather; I cannot get under my nose; 35 minutes later: will this ever end? I am hooked!!! This is not a great shave, in fact it is fairly rough. Some areas seem to have eluded the razor completely while other areas are smooth as silk. The learning curve seems pretty ghastly, and yet I'm checking my bank account because I want more razors. Tell me guys, does the addiction ever end?
