almost new here
Hi everyone. this is joed's wife. I have been lurking here for a while under his id. I have shaved a couple of times with str8's and I love the quality of the shave. I try to do this when I have plenty of time and tend to do it while I am in the tub. I do use the DE's when I feel like I don't have time to take my time. Seeing as I have the afternoon off while Joe is at work I may just draw up a nice bubble bath, and make some nice lather and have another go at it. Have to strop my torrey though. Good thing I do occasionally pay attention when Joe is taking care of his str8's LOL ;)

Welcome. I never thought back when I joined that there would be any women on the forum. Now there are a growing number of ladies. I keep offering to shave my wife's legs, but no go so far.

Chris, I am still not so sure I want someone else working on my with a str8. There are still some trust issues with people coming at me with sharp objects. I guess it's a control thing. I know my limits. I am not always sure of others knowing theirs :)

Welcome welcome, glad to see you've officially joined.
One little tidbit that it sounds like you're already picking up on is that shaving with a straight is a relaxing and rewarding way to indulge oneself. Unfortunately, it's not something that I have time to do every day, but I wish I could. I have to set aside time to have a nice straight shave. If I miss a shave and find that I have to do something quicker to stay presentable, I pull out the DE for a single, WTG pass in the morning.
I do hope that you'll be able to set aside the time to pamper yourself and enjoy a nice straight shave.

Greetings Carrie:D
Congratulations on graduating from a lurker to a member in your own right.:bow I've been using a straight for four months now, still haven't got it perfect but at least the nicks are happily reducing in number!:rofl2: While Spike doesn't shave my legs for me he does take care of other areas.:w
Straight shaving as you have discovered, is a great way to pamper yourself because you just can't rush it. I hope you continue to enjoy the experience for many years to come. It can be a nightmare having two lots of shaving related AD's in the same house, but I'm sure you will both work something out together.;)

Silver, thanks for the kind works. I will leave it to Joe to have the RAD, I have 2 razors that I call my own. Both are Torrey 5/8 round point blades. nothing fancy but I like the balance. Some of the large blades just don't feel comfortable to me. So I don't expect to catch the RAD bug. I am learning how to hone and strop my own blades though. Joe informed me that I need to know how to care for my own blades just in case he isn't around.

Welcome, good to have you here!

Welcome :)
Torreys are great razors, too.
This is OT, but just curious: how many ladies members are there now?
Cheers
