Well, this morning I shaved with my newly aquired Wapi, only my second ever shave and it was fantastic! What an experience! and what a blade! I came away with a few minor nicks and my neck was very red for about an hour but I did it - I shaved and removed hair! I even went against the grain in some areas including my cheeks, upper lip and chin and the shave was really really smooth! I’ve really got to hone my technique now (no pun intended) as my neck is nowhere near as smooth as it could be - I’ve planned my next shave already, with a few tweaks I think I’ll get a lot closer. I never thought I’d be so excited over waking up in the morning . I’m going to have to get myself a strop pretty quickly! Although I have a nice leather belt that will do the trick for now I think .
