Thread: Hello!

Hi, my name is Paul Hunnisett and I'm a straight razor newbie.

I recently bought a bluebeard's revenge shavette, which I used yesterday for the first time - there was plenty of blood!

I'm pretty sure I know (at least one of the things) I was doing wrong. I don't think I was stretching the skin enough and I got some really good bleeders!

Very keen to try again, but a little frustrated as I should probably give my face plenty of time to heal properly before shaving again!

Edit: I should probably add that I only did my cheeks down to the jawline for my first shave and finished up with my mach 3. I also did the sideburn area - although there's very little of that as I have fairly long sideburns which are staying where they are!
