Hey,

Im quite new to straight shaving.

Iv been a convert from a 5 bladed vibrating marital aid to a DE safety razors for a while now, I purchased an Edwin Jeager a little under a year ago. After learning to use it I am in love with the whole ritual of wet shaving. I then bought a Murkur slant bar which I love even more, this is my go to razor.


the natural progression for me is to go to a straight razor, I bought a cheap razor and strop from amazon. I learnt to shave my cheeks with this but I find that it seems to go blunt before I finished the whole shave. Spurred on by my lack of cuts and nicks I purchased a Vintage Diamond Spear off Ebay, not entirely sure how good a razor you sharpologists think of them but I like it very much and I use it at least twice a week.

Everything is going well with my education n how to use it but im still having trouble around a scar I have on m y chin and the left hand side of my face generally. im sure it will all come together eventually.

I look forward to meeting you all
