Hi Guys,
I often go days or weeks without shaving, is it wise to trim the beard hair down with a trimmer before straight razor shaving or is it better to go straight into wet shaving?

I guess it's your choice, but IMO, there are few things more satisfying than slicing off several days worth of growth with a straight :)
Very true, I sometimes like to let my stubble grow and am more satisfied seeing the finished results after. When using other shaving implements I had to use an electric trimmer to take down the shrubbery before finishing with a MIII - the straight just removes the lot very efficiently.Quote:

No need. Nice thing about the straight razor is that is does not "clog". See attached for an example...Quote:

I have found the same as hunduf, a few days growth and I get a better shave.Quote:

Same here, it's usually Sunday evening when I have a shave. Sometimes as I'm in the building trade (so I can look scruffy and it's OK) it may be from Thursday or even before till I have one.Quote:

Do be sure to have some Drano nearby if you're taking
off a significant amount of hair :)
