Finally enjoying shaving

I always hated shaving, but I am required to shave for some volunteer activities. I was reading an article about shaving when it mentioned straight razors. I remembered that I had one of grandpa's old straight razors.

After much research and practicing making a good foam while using the mach3 and the straight on one cheek and maybe part of the neck. I started doing a full shave with the straight two weeks ago. It is excellent. I now look forward to shaving.

Thanks for all the info it has made it easy to get started.

Setup - FW Engels Leader (Full Hollow?), Boar bristle brush, Williams mug soap
