First Full WTG, XTG, and ATG Shave!
20th Shave – Full Shave!!
Today was my first full, all straight razor shave! WTG, XTG, and ATG! :y
Okay, so I did try a full shave (all the above) awhile ago and cut myself badly enough to look like my cats had done the shaving. I was feeling pretty confident with my WTG and XTG, and, on a whim, went ahead for the ATG only to slice my neck, a day later my cheek, and then I remembered the advice, STOP when it doesn’t feel right.
So, for the past two weeks I’ve been shaving WTG and XTG with the straights, getting my chops down, and finishing my ATG with a cartridge razor (bleah!). Today, I went ahead with the ATG. I got one tiny (went away when dried my face to put Neosporin on the spot (special thanks to pinklather for that helpful bit), but that was from my XTG. Then I went ahead with my ATG and no cuts or nicks. It’s probably not as close, but, hey, I’m getting there! WooHOO!
Of course, afterward I was craftsmen critical (not close enough here, shaved too much off the goatee there), but I’m working on celebrating the little victories!
