the end of my first week with a straight razor:
Boker 5/8 King Cutter (expertly honed by gssixgun)
badger brush
Trumper's Coconut SC
Thayer's
Booster's June Clover AS
Nivea ASB
Trumper's Sandalwood Cologne
The Boker feels quite a bit different than the Dovo Best I have been uisng for the past six days. They are almost identical in size, but the Boker is quite a bit lighter. The grind angle is an abvious difference, and the weight / balance feels different.
I got a small nick under my jaw, trying to get the angel right, but it stopped quickly. I didnt get as close as I have been with the Dovo, but I wanted to try this new toy.
I think the Boker will go into the box for a few months as I stick to the Dovo and work on my technique, and then start mixing things up with new razors.
Henckles 70 1/2-MDC/GFT Rose and Violet-DB 1.5/Glenn Ey 25MM Red Morrell Burl Silvertip/Kouros

DFS with the left over samples from GFT. I threw in a touch of MDC just for the fun of it.
Hi Bman40.
I'm not an expert, but I started in the same way. For a few weeks I was using the same SR until finally I got experience and technique and I started to use different models, blades and grounds.
The cuts and nicks are part of the trade. (I think if you bleed is that you're alive.) :)
Congrats for your first week.

Pre - Hot shower with Martin de Candre soap sample on face
Soap - Nannys Silly Soap Company French Lavender
Brush - Semogue Owners Club 2 band
Razor - Mergress
Blade - Shark stainless steel (2)
A/S - Fonex Malibu
Cologne - Penhaligons Sartorial
Pre-Shave: Hot shower Brush: Simpson Chubby 1 Razor: Hart Steel 6/8 Round Point Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/English Bridle Soap: Valobra Stick After shave: Knize Ten Results: A perfect late night shave :y If someone wondered, the Valobra stick is a great soap that easily whips up a wonderfully slick lather, and the Hart is a truly magnificent razor. It takes a great edge, giving a perfectly, smooth BBS shave :) and to top it Santa brought me an early X-mas gift today, a big bottle of Knize Ten :D If I was forced to stick to one setup for the rest of my life I easily could have lived with this one :)
