Thread: Hello from la Belle Province

Just wanted to publicly thank Badgister, he is a class act. I met up with him yesterday and he was very helpful. I would have continued to mess things up and gotten more and more frustrated with everything as my shaving ability was going downhill. I dont think I was doing a single thing right before we met up. Hopefully things will start to go better now. Heck I can now do my chin so that is a huge improvement there.

Alan, it was my pleasure. Again, I cannot stress enough the importance of correct stropping technique. Improper stropping is the number one cause of edge failure when beginners acquire shave-ready razors.

Here's the video I spoke of as well as the beginners guide to buying shaving equipment.

Enjoy!

I have just finished my first full face shave, no touching up with the DE required
It isn't even a great shave but good enough not to require the DE
Ok my face is bleeding more than ever before but I managed to do my chin and under my nose so I'm pumped ATM. Took me about 20 mins total, really had to work for it and occasionally had to use my left hand to steady my right (I will never be a surgeon) but I did it!
