Thread: My First DE Shave

My stropping technique has improved a little and I tried my hand at honing, successfully I might add (though there is great room for improvement), so my straights are now fairly sharp. I guess with further SR experience my shaves will get closer. But, for right now, the DE has them beat in closeness of shave. A little while back I turned the bathroom fan off and was better able to hear the DE blade slicing the whiskers so by adjusting the razor angle for maximum slicing noise my shaves got a lot closer!

Good luck with both your SR and DE shaving!
