Thread: First str8 shave today!

Goddammit... Shave 7. I usually shave at night when I can take my time. Had to shave in the morning before work and I was probably a little rushed and overconfident. Nicked my left cheek. About the same size as the ear one from last shave... Also not as close of a shave. Yesterday was close and comfortable, but now I'm back to socially acceptable

Not Much To Say Here That Hasn,t Allready Been Sayed,, Sometimes Thats The Price We Pay To Smell Good All Day!!!!!!!!!!Ty

The nicks happen, but if you're in a hurry be happy it was only a nick.
I and others here have found out, if you're short on time a SR shave isn't the way to go.
This type of shave is a luxury and should be given the time to enjoy it

Never hurts to keep a DE or throwaway and a can of gel handy for emergencies

I learned my lesson. If it's morning and I'm pressed, DE it is. Maybe in 20 years I'll be proficient enough to do a "quick"shave with the straight

A single pass for me takes under 10 mins including prep and stropping, you will pick up speed as you get better

I bet you're only holding the razor near your face for a minute of that
