    Default MikeG from NY, had my first straight razor shave tonight

    Hi everyone. I have been staring at my new straight razor for a couple days now and decided to give it a try. It was an experience to say the least. A little more blood than I expected, but nothing my trusty styptic pencil could not handle.

    So much for No-Shave November.

    Have a good weekend.

    Gotta start somewhere. Not every first shave is great, but with time they will get better.
