newbie making headway

Attachment 126299

Well i imagine the solingen e-bay specialo was a bit blunt on my first shave with a lot of tugging going on, and i'm still waiting for my beginners strop to arrive ,which should be tomorrow. In the meantime i,m letting by beard grow out a little to give me a fighting chance although i couldn't resist playing with my new toy.
Now i can't keep using this belt as a makeshift strop as my trousers will be round my knees and that may not go down too well as i wander around the dwellings of female clientele! and the autosol paste is drying it out but.....I am mowing down arm hairs with ease, then performing the old trick of holding a hair between finger and thumb and slicing said hair which is a definite improvement.
So now i,m looking forward to Shave Test #2 with the utmost confidence and grinning like a blade-wielding maniac. I must thank you all for this site which is guiding me through my first baby steps.

Congrats and welcome to a pleathera of knowledge.

Hmmm, or maybe it will go over really well wandering around the dwellings of your female clientele...;) lol, jk :)
