Thanked: 2getting the hang of it
First shave was just sideburns down the the jaw line. Finished without the straight. I wanted to skip a few days and try again. I keep a well groomed gotee so I decided tonight to try my neck and jawline.
I started with Col. Conks glycerine and lime puck and added some Proraso red to make a thick and lucious batch of lather. This was amazing... I get the brush and the puck soaking and stropped my straight razor. After that, I gave myself a hot towel (slightly wetted). I brushed the lather over my whole face and took the right side first. After that was done, I wiped all the lather off my face, reapplied on the left side and shaved there. Then I hit my neck and under my jaw with more lather and took my time. I then lathered my sideburns and cross cut, lathered my neck and jawline and shaved through there.
My face went well, just a few tiny nicks that didn't do much but turn my lather on my razor pinkish.
I hit my face with some aftershave I picked up from Rubinovs. Its smells good and didn't quite sting much at all. Its called Checker Flag made by Master.
My neck and jawline didn't bleed, but I also didn't get all the stubble baby bottom smooth. Any suggestions?
