    Default Not quite tips for wet shaving

    OH GOSH, I DID THAT?


    OGIDT: Forgot to read anything shave related before I bought everything twelve sources said I needed to get started with wet shaving.


    OGIDT: Didn't see the note included with my new razor that said it was shave ready and I stropped it twenty times only cutting my strop four or five times.


    OGIDT: Believed all razors are the same, regardles of country of origin.


    OGIDT: Beleived that if one layer of tape is good three would be better.


    OGIDT: What's a styptic pencil? Can I sharpen it in a pencil sharpener?


    OGIDT: Shaved with my razor after I dinged it. Only one cut needed stitches.


    OGIDT: What am I going to do with forty soaps that smell great but don't lather worth a damn.


    OGIDT: Bought a rare Chinese centuries old razor from China. Discovered the stamp that said make in USA.
    OGIDT: Went to a great meet but got sidetracked by the fact it was held in a bar. Woke up in an alley.


    OGIDT: Hell, anyone can makes scales.



    OGIDT: Check the clasifieds. Great price on all the stuff.

    Ha!

    In all honestly Ive actually found straight razor shaving quite straight forward (pun intended)
    except for a few razors that were a pain in the bum to hone. I feel long as you follow everything in the library you won't go too far wrong.
