Hello from Holland across the Atlantic
Hello fellow members,
For the first time in over 40 years I shaved myself with a straight razor. It is not exactly like riding a bicycle: it rather felt like I had never done it before. Apart from a few little cuts and the need to finish the awkward parts with my daily safety razor, the results are encouraging and I will continue to shave myself in this fashion after the cuts are healed.
I got my first straight razor from my dad over 40 years ago, which I used for some time, teaching myself how to use it I remember getting rather good at it, being able to use both hands. I am certain that all of it will come back in time.
I was pleased to notice that there is a whole community of men who like me who (re)discovered the time honored traditional way of shaving. I will enjoy reading some of your stories on this forum and maybe enter one or two of my own,
Greetings.
