Had my first straight shave today. The razor from Gary worked (and looked) great.
Went great!
Very comfortable and no blood loss. It wasn't quite as close as a DE shave but I have no doubt that will improve with time. Seemed less irritating to my neck than my DE too which is fantastic.
Definitely a fun way to shave; just have to wait on my strop now until I can try again :(
Is a bit intimidating; but taking it easy it really wasn't as difficult as I expected.
