I can shave with a straight again!

Well my my recovery is going well enough that I was able to hold a strop tight enough to strop the razor! I have my first straight shave in over 2 months. I started off easy with a full hollow 8/8 Friodur, but back to the wedges I go for the next shave. Im very excited :)

Welcome back to shaving! I personally wouldn't call going straight for a 8/8 starting off easy though. :P

Yeah, that monster wedge Bill made for you might be too much. Why don't you send it to me to ensure you don't reinjure yourself lifting the monster? :)

Compared to his 3.5" wide face eraser, the 8/8 is child's play! Welcome back!

Josh I know you are tough and manly but don't overdo it. Follow the therapist regiment. You don't want to start over do you?:eek:
