    Cannot blame you for looking though.

    Here is the story.
    It was my first time ever making lather and it wasn't that easy as I thought it would be. . I think the lather wasn't thick enough so next time I'll have to pay attention to that to get it thicker. I started with the straight razor on my right side but didn't get that good of a shave. Then I switched to the DE razor and started playing with the angles of the blade and got a great shave. Did 2 passes WTG and XTG. Took the straight again and when I found a good angle got a really close shave. Face feels really smooth now. And the best part is that I didn't got a nick while shaving.

    * Welcome to the forum and congratulations!
