Just had my best shave so far
Very proud of myself right now...just had my best shave with my straight so far.
Been shaving with a straight occasionally for the past month or two but really started shaving M-F everyday with the straight for the past 2 weeks or so.
I came home tonight from playing hockey and after a shower decided to take the Ralf Aust 6/8 for a spin. I used my Proraso Pre Shave, Taylor of old bond street Lavender cream and finished with my Art of Shaving post shave. Easily the best shave I have had so far. I was able to get three great passes along with some touch ups with no nicks/cuts and a almost BBS shave all over.
Hears to hopefully being able to replicate it on the next shave as well!

Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance.

The first few amazing shaves followed by a ton of amazement and facerbating have been quite appreciated. Slowly over time the facerbating subsides a little, but the appreciation of a great shave never gets old.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

Well done. I'm in a similar situation and today I had my best SR shave ever too. It's a great feeling when everything clicks.

If you have the extra time it takes to shave with a straight, it's time well spent. Congrats!
