Thread: Looking for assistance after first attempted shave

Man, i hope not. Thats the second guy in a week you offered a razor too that i know of. People just dont get it. Your a fine man Mike. I hope he is just busy and will check in this weekend.

Many questions... so few answers.

Sounds to me like all questions answered, now for the answers to be implemented. Tc

Let someone offer me a free, shave razor and see how fast I send an address! I'm okay with a strop, but I only have one razor, and it would give me something other than gillettes to compare against.

I am willing to bet that if you are a sincere person in that and offered either of these two upstanding men a dialogue by PM you would find yourself with all the help you could ever want.

Put your location in your profile so you can get help like your asking for. Tc

I agreed 100% on that learning to shave and strop properly must be you priority, when you’l be Able to do that you will understand more how to hone a straight. Of course there is lots of way’s to hone there is also the fact that maintaining your edge is also a part of honing. To me i’ve Been straight shaving now since 2014 and that’s what I do. I’m not yet able do start whit the Bevel setting etc... but what I do now works for me cause I did start whit shave ready straights.
