Thread: Lessons Learned

I'm two weeks into shaving with a straight razor. I was shaving my whole face after three days and muscled through the razor burn. The razor burn and numerous nicks decreased in intensity and volume seemingly every day; however, it still existed to the point where I was constantly reminded throughout the day that I had done something wrong in the morning. The positive side of it is that it kept me searching for a solution. I'm in the military, so I don't necessarily have to have a BBS shave, it just has to look very presentable 12 hours later. I found this link three days ago and after implementing the recommendations, have only had razor burn in a few small spots since then (after a WTG, XTG and ATG pass) and only because I wasn't paying attention. Just thought I should share just in case it helps someone else.
