    Default Hello everyone!

    Hello all,
    My name is Nick and I am a newcomer to the fantastic world of straight razing. I just wanted to say thank you to this forum and its members for providing me with loads of great information on how to strop, stretch, lather, and shave! I shave every 3-4 days and have gotten to the point that I am comfortable enough to not cut myself now!! Baby smooth never felt so good My current blades are a Red IMP 132 and a Geneva Cutlery (honed myself with Norton 4K/8K). For everyone out there who is starting I just wanted to give you these three tips I found to be the most helpful.

    1. Keep that lather wet. I usually only lather one section of my face at a time so it stays moist and doesn't dry out while I take my time
    2. Stretch that skin! By only covering 1/4 of my face with lather its much easier to stretch without slipping
    3. With/Cross/Against. Can't imagine ever going back to just WG and AG since that cross works wonders

    Thanks again-- and Happy shaving men!
