First time out with this beautiful Double Duck, that was PIFed to me by Cudarunner from SRP. I was only going to to shave from my sideburn to my jaw line on my right side with my right hand. It went so well, no gushing blood, so I did the left side with my left hand. That went so well I did my neck on my left side. Looking good so let's see about it being easier to do your upper lip with a straight. Left hand right hand going easy trying to figure out the best approach. Not pushing my luck I stopped there and finished with my FB, and only needed 1 pass. The Maca Root was nice and slick which helped get a nice shave. I use both hands with my DE razors, and it actually seemed easier with the straight on my left side, go figure. One little weeper on my upper lip left side. Nice cucumber smell with the WH, and then some soothing JB Gel, took care of the weeper. After cleanup some vintage OS. That was fun. I will do more tomorrow.

I'm so very glad that the razor that I was able to give to you due to the generosity of another member at SRP gave you a very nice 'First Straight Razor Shave! The Donor is a man I'm very proud to call my friend

Not to sure about those Russian Straight Razors. I have three of them, and they don't attract attention.

Maybe it's just me.
