Pictures and It appears I really am a certified newbie.
Hey Guys,
I got my razors and I tried shaving last night. No blood, but I can't really call it a success. The biggest problem I had was one I didn't anticipate. I am 56 years old and my near vision is shot so I wear glasses for near work. For me the bad near vision starts about 6 to 8 feet away. This is giving me a combination problem. In order to see the blade without my hand blocking the view I have to look to the side (like I'm sure everyone has to do, but I had not thought of) and if I wear big lenses the frames get in the way and if I don't wear any glasses I can't see worth a flip. I managed to get the right cheek shaved, but not well shaved. My left hand was about as bad as I expected and I decided to not push it anymore for the night. Any suggestions?
The next problem I am having that I didn't expect is that the shaving soap is drying very quickly even though I am getting my face very wet before applying it. You guys can probably tell me how to solve that one very quickly.
I bought 2 razors; a Joseph Rodgers Booths Special (shortened long ago) and a Long. I tried the Joseph Rodgers last night. I am including pictures that came from the guy I bought them from. So, these are the razor pictures I promised you, but no blood pictures yet.
