It was actually with a shavette I figured that the practice would help. My dad was in the hospital and I figured there was no better way to make him feel better than to give him a good shave.

I was really nervous but I figured that he had been poked and prodded enough over the week that if I nicked him it wouldn't be a big deal. I brought a thermos of water that I had boiled in my kettle at home, a couple of towels and all my usual supplies.

We started with a lather of C.O. Bigelow and a warm towel for a few minutes and then I lathered him up with with some SRD blood orange sc. Then it was time for the shave, I went really really slow and used a gentle touch. I did 2 passes 1 WTG an 1 XTG then a little Bay Rum and some lotion. When all was said and done he was BBS and no nicks I couldn't believe it.

He loved it so much he asked me to come to the house a couple days later and do it again so of course I obliged. Once again a great shave no nicks!!!

The only problem I had was my lather was drying up a bit but I figured that was because I was going so slow the same thing happened to me when I first started shaving myself with a straight.
