Wow! What a neat site, although it seems sort of like trying to drink from a firehouse.
I'm 59 and just starting with straight razors. Got interested because my kids gave me a Father's Day gift of a the royal shave at the art of shaving. Had mine in Atlanta and thought I'd try it for myself. I began shaving with a safety razor in my teens and eventually wound up on a Gillette fusion. Along with the shave ,I got a starter kit from the art of shaving with a badger brush shave cream and pre- have oil and after shave balm. I have used those and really liked them even with the cart.
did my first straight shave this morning and discovered a problem. ( One WTG pass)With my cart,the width is short enough that it is no problem to go XTG under my neck. the straight is too long to do that comfortably. Anybody have any advice on a way to handle that. None of the videos I have seen sems to have an easy way to do that.
BTW, I'm in Newnan Ga, just south of Atlanta. Anybody else close?
