Thread: 2nd shave

Just recieved my strop today. I had to wait because it was 4 days later than I expected, but it came in good shape. I used the strop and made about 50 passes without damaging it and found out what shave ready really is! During my first shave I was a bit more nervous than I thought I would be and in turn ended up with 5 or 6 nicks on the neck. With this shave it went much better and although the razor was supposed to be shave ready I found it wasn't. After I used the strop it was much easier to glide against my face and other than razor burn it turned out great and I am nick free. I am still shaving WTG and I am using a disposable for touch up and the areas between my jawbone and ear so I don't have much bragging room, but I am starting to feel more comfortable holding the razor and using my opposite hand. I also found a good use for my wifes' dust collecting fish in the bathroom.lol
