    Default fantastic shave this morning

    being fairly new at this today's shave was amazing i sarted out by putting some big band music on the radio for that old time feel then i lathered up the col conk soap and brushed it effortlessly on my face. while the lather was doing its job i stropped my 6/8 red bimarck about 70 times re-latheres and began to shave. the blabe felt more natural in my hand than ever before and the blade cut clean and smooth without snagging i even managed to get my agt pass without cutting myself today was a wonderful experience

    Excellent! Keep at it. As with most activities practice, does indeed, make PERFECT!

    Soon, muscle memory, as well as getting to know what works and what doesn't-will result in EVERY shave being a FANTASTIC shave.

    It truly is a beautiful thing....

    It sure is nice when you finally get the hang of it. Shaving with the straight can be so frustrating when you're learning. Once you start to get consistently good shaves it becomes something that you look forward to as a high point of the day. Great to hear that you are there.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
