Well I had good shave about 10days ago with my vintage flea market Swedish steel razor that I restored and honed myself as a TOTAL newb using my newly acquired nortons and 12K chinese
(I'll make apost about it soon, I hope--- came out really nice )

I was surprised how well I did actualy! That perticular shave was my third shave altogether and I felt SO confident in my work that I did a straight ATG swipes.
All was well, very smooth, BUT 2 days after the deed, the area below the sides of my motuh was not so happy.
Needless to say it's been a 10days since my last shave cause it took that long to get rid of a few nasty acne-like inflamations (LOL!)

Oh did I mention I don't have a strop yet and stroped mine on a rag lined wood, pasted with metal polish paste
+ I have Lynn's DVD but havent watched it yet

Learning "on your own skin" method at it's finest I must say! LOL!

Well today was not a great shaveday..

I didnt shower before the shave.. just made my face wet and put a hot towel on my face
Lathered up and started shaving..but this time I took it too slow so the movements werent smooth..

did an against the grain on my neck.. its smooth but a bit irritated.. the rest of the shave was a bit irritating as wel. The chin is getting better and so is the upperlip.. we are getting there... someday..

the results are a pretty close shave but a but irritated skin.
