105248August was a good shaving product month. September is designated Straightember. I hope to acquire a modern straight and practice honing more. I did bring a Shumate's Barber back to life last...

I will have to pay more attention as I think shorter strokes would help, minding the angle.

I was bored last night and decided to see if I could make Cella work by any means necessary. Vie Long horse brush have me airy, quickly dissipating lather - Worse than the Sem. 620 had the other...

I have cut myself on two subsequent shaves in the same spot. Right side, just south of the jaw line. In fact they are parallel to each other. I suspect it is the last part of a down stroke (wtg). I...

You may lose a few hairs on that brush. If you want some soap/ cream samples you know what to do.

As others will tell you, go at your own pace. I learned DE gradually, and am learning straight...

OOf. Shave 2 this morning. Cut my darn chin and side of neck a bit. Saw the chin coming from a mile away.

I spent the day fixing a friend's mom's car. Fun wow. Someone with more straight experience may want to chime in on the cream/soap. I would think Barbasol would give a more soap like glide than goop....

The 5/8 Shumate Barber's is not honed. I picked it up for a ten spot in order to have something to practice honing on while I got the technique down.

The shave was not as good as using my Merkur...

Well I had my first straight shave today.

When I wrote in to arrange the sale I asked Larry to pick something out that could accommodate my "sausage fingers". He laughingly obliged.

I got my Whipped Dog in.

W.H. Sample Albany NY
The Capital Razor.

Can't get a good photo of it at the moment, but I am pleased enough with the transaction.

And there is currently a 3 dollar off printable coupon for KMF. (print and use on any and all of their products. I plan on getting all the shave cream, and I think they make a toothpaste I want to...

When you get your whipped dog, or whatever other set up you may get, shoot me a picture so we can compare our purchases. When you get your set up, and if you feel comfortable with it - shoot me an...

You don't have to go high end to get a great cream. My go to is actually fairly pedestrian. Proraso Green pre/post with C.O. Bigelow cream (made by Proraso and avail fairly regularly buy 2 get one or...

I just paid for mine! I am hotly anticipating it.

I have been using brush/cream and bowl lathering for years. But mainly around a beard. My grandfather died unexpectedly this summer and I was on...

haha, if I had a dime for every time I said "oh I can PIF it"...

Thanks for the response. I am familiar with ebay issues, I currently use small army of DE razors. I have been stalking the classifieds here too. What really caught my eye recently was a Bokor...

Thanks for all the welcomes.

I like the whipped dog deal bc I can get a shave ready razor, and starter strop set up on the low cost. I think a couple (eventually) low risk vintage shavers is a...

Hey there, Jfro is a college nickname, Justin is another way to refer to me!

I think for my first a Whipped Dog sight unseen may be the best. Comes shave ready and the price is right...

Hey there I have been lurking around for a bit and registered the other day. I do not have a shave ready in my hands JUST yet (next week looks good) but I wanted to introduce myself, I use the same...
