No problem, dude! Glad this thread was able to help someone else out. Oh, and it's Chreees, my name (Chris) as if you sounded it out in a Hispanic accent. I used to work at a hotel and the...

Hassouni!! Glad to see you here, man.

Haha, I don't need to be buying any more razors for a while. But I said that last time before these three new razors, didn't I? Lol! Either way, I'm living the W&B 6/8 and the Sheaf Works 6/8.
...

Shaved with the smaller W&B today and it just wasn't the same... I'll be sticking to the 6/8s a lot from now on. Still provided a good shave, but just didn't feel right in my hands.

Shaved with the Greaves Sheaf Works today (err, yesterday...) and it was amazing. I think I might have enjoyed it more than the W&B?? I dunno. It was a damn fine shave. I LOVE this size razor with...

Some of you may have already seen these in my thread titled "Need Info," but wanted to say here that I picked up these three 6/8 razors from a guy on Craigslist for a pretty good deal:

Wade and...

Actually, I solved it rather quickly once I found the little hook I got with the poorman's strop. ;) Attached it to the bottom of the bathroom cabinets- now I'm good to go in the morning.

Thank...

Awesome! Glad you found some new things that worked out great for you. The Proraso products are a dream, aren't they?

My current problem right now is that I just moved, and I gotta figure out my...

Shave #12:

Used the Henckels today... amazing. Since I gave it 10 x-strokes on my barbers hone after having it re-honed by Larry, it shaves great. Just as good maybe even better than my Wade and...

Beautiful! That looks really nice man. Which is your favorite?

On another note, I forgot to log a shave I did yesterday morning:

Shave #11:

Used the Wade and Butcher this shave. Did 50...

That is a nice scuttle! I gotta pick me up one of those someday... Right now I'm just using a Best Western mug from my work, lol. Your razor looks awesome as well. I hope to own a white scales one...

I gotta say the Wade and Butcher, hands down. Love it now that I dialed in the proper sharpness since getting it honed.

Finally got some good pics of my collection:

Word, those are good tips. I also make sure to clean off the blade after a few strokes. Basically, I don't ever leave behind bits of lather where I just shaved. Works for me.

That's awesome man! I hope you find just what you are looking for. As for getting married, CONGRATS! I got married last June and it was the best thing I've ever done in my life. I wish you and your...

Nice! I'd love to see pics of them sometime. I think I want to pick up a Boker sometime in the future...

I know you have, hence why I put "many people were even reading it," not "any." :D Thank you for following.



Thanks for following, too! Sounds like you had an excellent shave there. What razor...

I'm glad my thread could help someone! I was starting to wonder if many people were even reading it, haha. Either way, I hope your experience is as smooth has mine has been overall. No doubt there...

Shave #10:

Shaved using my Dovo before my third shift tonight. Everything went well. I need to watch my pressure, though... My Dovo requires a much lighter touch and is less forgiving than my...

Shave #9:

This one happened the morning of 3/22, but I'm just now getting time to type this at 3AM on 3/23. Been a long day, but got to visit my sister-in-law, niece, and nephews, and now I am...

Got my Henckels back from being rehoned. I do believe it will shave well now. Larry also threw in a sample of Clubman aftershave, which I have been wanting to try actually. Huge props to Larry for...

As much as I wanted to shave today, I was lazy and wanted to sleep an extra 30-45 minutes... I now regret that decision!

Shave #8:

Today was the second time in a long time I've shaved directly after shaving the day before, so two days in a row... Wow. I did the "two WTG passes with some XTG here and there" method...

Ahhh, yes. Shave Secret. I actually have some and have used it twice since I started this straight razor adventure. I used it during my first two shaves, then swapped to the Proraso pre-shave. I feel...

Yes sir, thank you for convincing me to go ahead and try it. Glad I did.

What pre-shave oil do you use? The Proraso pre-shave cream is working well for me now, but I am sure I'll be trying other...
