Thread: First straight razor shave.

Congratulations.
The journey has begun...

You may find at times that the results are not up to expectations, maybe even so painful that you ask yourself why you are doing this, but remember we all had to go through this.

Conventional wisdom has it that after about 100 shaves you will be proficient, but in effect you never give up learning; new discoveries will just become less momentous, and even after years of straight shaving I experiment with slightly different variations once in a while.

My first goal was to get shaves that were as good as my shaves with a safety razor, but now I have arrived at the point where my straight shaves surpass even shaves on my Mühle R41 - something that in the beginning I would have thought impossible.

Enjoy the journey, it becomes even more fun over time.
