Thread: First "real" shave attempt.

Well, I went to the store today and got a bunch of Proraso stuff. I decided that even though I have played around with the razor that Lynn sent me and I haven't gotten my strop yet, I would have a go at it. It did not go too badly. I am not bleeding profusely or anything. I don't think that I worked up the lather properly, and the razor needed stropping. I got a fairly close shave, but I really need work on my angling. The shave definitely made my face a bit raw, so I will need to do some touch up work tomorrow. I also had some trouble on shaving close to my goatee.

All in all it went pretty well though.

Thanks to everyone here for all of your helpful info, I will definitely need more of it.
Chris

P.S. I know I rushed the shave, too used to the cartridge razors.
