Well this morning I had my first full SR shave from start to finish. I am totally hooked!! I have far less irritation than I ever did with my DE. I got a little bit due to the fact that I took three passes trying to figure out how to attack certain areas of my face, but now Im pretty sure that I can get away with just two passes next time which Im sure will lead to less irritation. I've also found out that I need to use more water in my lather as oppose to the less water that worked with my DE.

I would like to give a big thanks to Wullie who allowed me to borrow a couple of razors while he worked on getting mine sharpened up for me. Today I used one of his vintage G. Wostenholm straights that gave me such a good shave. So again, thanks Wullie!

Im actually looking forward to my next shave! I didnt even get too many little nicks today which I was very proud of!

I do have a quick question for some of the veterans here. The hair on my neck grows from the point of my jaw under my ear, at a downward angle toward my adam's apple. Is there a trick or an easy way to get that area good and smooth?
