Thread: Shaved. Wow!

Well I shaved with the Gillette I posted about here. I Thought I would give it a try this morn. My face has already produced white pustules. I have noticed since straight razor shaving my face has cleared up a bunch! Now I know that the straight will all that will be used.

I've never used a DE, yet perhaps, but remember that not everyone gets a great straight shave first off either. Don't think that just because you can use a straight effectively and comfortably means that you can whip out the same success with a DE. I'm pretty sure there is a learning curve to be dealt with.

I hope new straight users don't pass judgement so easily! But then again, if you dig straights, no reason to mess with perfection...

I love 'em both but am still working the learning curve on both. I'll go back and forth forever, they are both fun, but my neck seems to like straights better.

I had used this DE for years in the past. It of course, like other type razors, tore my face up. I have not seen my face clearer than what it is now since pre puberty!!! Electrics chewed up my face like hamburger, and disposables ate me up too. I actually had a no shave waiver for a few months while deployed with the Navy in '99. My face had gotten so bad from shaving the Doc said I couldn't shave anymore. He had never seen a case as bad as mine on a Caucazoid. The psuedo folicalitis usually is only suffered by Negroes.
