I've been shaving for a about a week and its been really hard to get down the stropping and shaving. But this morning everything was going great. It seemed like I was stropping because it passed all the tests. My lather turned out perfect then the shaving was smooth and easy. I got my closest shave and I got only one nick. It was the best shave experience ever. I wish my beard would grow faster so i could shave again. Thanks SRP for all the advice and tips.
Kooray!
Good to hear, the shaves keep getting better
and better :)

Very cool, thanks for sharing your story. Soon enough you'll be developing intense HAD to go with the razors and honing madness will ensue.
Glad to here it's turning into enjoyment, now you can start to relax an really enjoy the experience!!!!!
It's a good feeling isn't it? Way to go pal:tu
You go Man!
It only gets better. Just remember . . . stay slow and focused. I got "****y" after my first two months and lost a little chunk of chin to complacency. Always stay focused and respect the blade, you will enjoy your shaves everyday forever.

+1, pal. I remember when it started to feel like, "Hey, this works!"
I have one out for sharpening and one just arrive on my doorstep yesturday afternoon. So I fired up and lathered up this morning and did excellent but learned two things:
1) Need to be a bit more careful about banging my skin with a real sharp blade, cut msyelf twice;
2) need to go faster, took me approximatly twenty minutes to do the job as oposed to five minutes with a safety.
Still two cuts with a new blade, I dont think thats a real bad record at all.
Very Cool, they will get even better
