Well I've been shaving with a straight for two whole weeks now. I started slowly with just the cheeks, then I've worked up to a full shave for the last week.
I have been quite smug with myself and getting quite relaxed until I looked in the mirror tonight and saw myself bleeding like a stuck pig, blood pouring down my cheek. I've taken a half inch slice out of my cheek.
Every cloud has a silver lining however, my home made strop must be working because I never felt it at the time
Gaz
ps I can feel it now
