Thread: First razor shave

I found a local barber who said they did straight razor shaves for $10, so i went in, wanting to look sharp for the wine tasting i'm attending today (invited by my old wine teacher from school).

So i went in, and true to his word, they laid me back, hit me with a steam towel, and started shaving. unfortunately, it was a straight with a disposable blade, so it still had that oversharp, disposable feeling, but the shave was much closer than i've ever gotten before...

overall, a good first experience, because it made me want to get a real blade, and learn how to do it better!

welcome srp.
you are in right place. read wiki and get more information and good luck buying your first blade and shaving with it.

Using a disposable blade is required by law in most states because of the risk of transmitting diseases.

Still, its good you found a good barber that still knows how to do it. And its good you got a good first taste to wet your appatite for more.
