Thread: First shave with a disposable straight.

Well it worked out well on my left side but my right has some nice nicks one of which bled for a good five minutes. So after that I rubbed my whole face down with a septic pen (still need to buy an alum bar). It was really fun and I loved it but one day soon I hope to have a real straight and strop to continue this interest.

Welcome, and stick with it! It not only gets better with paractice, but a real straight will make a huge difference, too!
Oh, and don't use the septic pens...they are filthy! Use a styptic instead! J/K, enjoy!
