First Shave
I followed in my Grandpas footsteps today & had my first straight razor shave. I watched pretty much every video I could on you-tube & read ton's of forums on this site & it all paid off. I started with a hot shower, 5 drops of all natural shave oil, Kiss my Face moisture shave cream, then "Took My Time" & let the blade do all the work. I did two passes & not a single nick. I finish with Clubman pinaud after-shave. Thank you to everybody that's posting-!! That knowledge was full proof.

Congrats and welcome,
You're all too right about letting the blade do all the work. Adding too much pressure is a sure recipe for irritation. Sounds like you're off to a great start!

It's encouraging to hear that the first attempt isn't always a bloodbath. Congrats!

Great Job..
You sure did better than my first shaves (although I didnt bleed that much the first shave).. the second or third was worse.. it was bloody smooth..
Have Fun!

Mike, there is no reason why it could not be done. There was a time were straights were the only way. Please let us know of your experience.
Al raz.
