Just about getting it right

Just thought I would share with you guys my Shavette story to date.
I started using DE's a few months ago and got hooked on traditional wet shaving. I mastered the DE and decided to move up to the shavette on route to a full blown straight razor. I started with a half blade DE type shavette, this was a blood bath and I decide to go back to the DE's and never again venture near a shavette. After my face healed I thought hell lets give it another go, and this time I decided to spend a little more money and purchased a CJB. I faired a little better still lots of blood but when it did go right the shave was very good which motivated me to press on. I decided to get scales put on the CJB and this did improve things for me. I watched some more video's and my skills improved further, also I got good advise from members here such as Obie who gave me some great tips. Deciding this was the way to go I got myself a Feather Artist SS super bit of kit. Anyway to bring you up to date the last week or so things have fallen in to place and I have been getting really good nik free shaves for the most part that I would class as DFS and the odd BBS. It has taken about 40 shaves to get to this stage, and I can use both hands know. I am glad I stuck with it, the end results are well worth the time and effort.
My thanks to all you guys who helped with your kind advise and tips.http://straightrazorpalace.com/images/icons/icon7.png

Nice job sticking with it. It does become second nature after a few shaves. Ok quite a few shaves

We do try stevie, and it does take time to get tings right, i am glad you stuck with it, and hopefully we can continue to help and encourageyou.

Good deal. I still use my shavette several days a week inspit of having a couple straights. Keep at it. It gets better as you go.

Lols, I was the same when I first started, looked like I had been in a knife fight everyday for a month, lol but like you say eventually it all falls into place, still get the occasional nick now and again but par for the course every now and again.:D
