While clearing out the in-laws house I came across a couple straight razors. So naturally I took them home, sharpened them just like I sharpen my very sharp pocket knives, and shaved! ..... and the result was only marginally better than if I had shaved with one of my pocket knives. So one week later, I've been reading/watching internet stuff about SR shaving. Today was the begining of my do over. I bought an old Sheffield SR from a local dealer and successfully shaved my face. I have a long way to go regarding technique but I am committed to learning how to do this. So I am looking forward to learning from you folks. Any tips ,hints, or suggestions will be appreciated.


I'm feeling more like I did this morning than I do now.
