For my week in week out routine of shaving I never use a pasted strop.

When I was working and having to shave the night before going to work I did a two pass shave and those shaves would pass company dress code 24 hours after I'd shaved.

Now I only do a single pass shave in the morning with perhaps a second pass under a small area of the chin. I have a nice shave for the rest of the day!

I know that this is Heresy here but I don't believe in the BBS (Baby Butt Smooth) Shave. I believe in the CCC (Clean Close & Comfortable Shave.

Those Itty Bitty, Teeny Tiny, Little Bits that only YOU can feel or know are there aren't going to be noticed by anyone else but you.

Mellow out and enjoy the shave. It's going to be much more enjoyable and rewarding knowing that even on your Worst Shaving Day with a Straight Razor, it's going to be One Thousand Times better than your Best Disposable Shaving Day
