Thread: Feed-back - After 2 weeks straight :-)

Hi!

I would like to post here my experience after 2 weeks: IT HAS BEEN GREAT
I am really enjoyng this, and have never looked twice to my DE razors!

It was really a turning point to me: for the good. I have already started to get the feel of my face, its curves and the way I should shave them with the straight; am using both hands naturally; I thynk my stropping its good and getting better; my face feels much better; I thynk I am realising wich is the best type of grind to me and soon I will be starting to learn how to hone.

Just one thing: in these 2 weeks I managed to get 5 razors, almost an average of 1/2 half razor a day - but I thynk it is normal and perfectly justifiable.....isn´t it ?

It looks you're on the right track. Hang in there. In a few months it all becomes second nature and before you know you've got over a dozen straights. Then the hone addiction will start.
Enjoy the ride. Shaving is fun.

Welcome to the DARK side!

Just keep at it. Like Max says-soon it will be second nature. Razors will soon be arriving via the common carriers frequently.

Then the wonderful world of honing will be open for you to explore-Shapton's,Vintage Thuringians, Escher's, and Coticules will soon be MUST HAVE items.

A fine hobby it is. If you are lucky-LIKE ME-you HAVE to shave everyday or constantly be asked: Are you growing a beard?

Welcome and enjoy.

Shhh! Don't let him know that yet..

Yep! Too late...

I already have a combination coticule and BBW, along with some pasted strops

Just for the record: I just shaved 10 minutes ago - DOVO Classic straight, proraso cream, alumn block, Dominica Bay Rum and Musgo Real balm...man oh man

Makes sense to me! You're doing great and you are a quicker study then I was. It took me a couple of weeks to totally leave the DE behind. I had to get troublesome areas like the chin and below the jaw line with the DE when I first started. Smooth shaving now though. Enjoy it !

I'm two week's in my self & your right about the addiction. I'v bought three old Wade & Butcher razors on Ebay, & plan on buying some more new razor's as well. I'v ben trying all kind's of shaving creams too. Don't stop brother let it out.
