I did my 1st straight shave this morning [almost]. I decided to start with the Feather razor with replaceable blades until I can get hand work down. After one cheek went really well, a nick; and another, and then a slice. I thought all was going pretty well until the latent bleeds opened and globs of red starting emerging in curves and corners. I have art and skills to hone!
However, the parts that worked well, are smooth, clean, and gleam!
