    Wink Best Shave Ever

    Been straight razor shaving for about 3 months now and bought a Thiers-Issard. I had it honed and got the most incredible shave ever. No nicks and was even able to shave under my nose without any problems.
    I love my thiers-issard razor and the shave I got.

    Sometimes it all comes together. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Sounds like you had a great, windshield kind of shave!

    Whiskers were the bug this time. Nice.

    What's the first thing to go through a bugs mind as it hits a windshield?
    It's a dog eat dog world and I have on milk bone underwear.

    Well three months would put you in the "100 Shave Zone"
    Get there with a freshly honed razor and all of the sudden it all comes together.

    Stand by, it only gets better...

    Smooth shaving.

    Congrats! That is indeed, awesome!

    It took me three months just to figure out which end to shave with!

    Grats! I too am about 3 months in and just got a new blade. Was actually looking at a T.I., but went with Ralf Aust. And I agree with you...a well honed blade is an amazing experiance!Name:  Ralf Aust.jpg

    I have the same razor and thought that the 2 6/8 Aust's offered the best shave until I won a Mastro Livi on eBay. 6/8 Spanish tip and just wants to shave. Really smooth and sharp. Just ordered another one. Picture of Aust with horn scaleName:  IMG_0121.jpg
