Thread: Ok I gave it a GO this evening...

Congratulations!
Now....who is Tony? What you have is a Lynn honed razor. Pretty much the standard for a well honed razor.
Enjoy your shaves!

Hey Bill,

Tony Miller is from www.wellshavedgentleman.com

Worth a look if you are in need.

He was highly reccomended from the guys on the forum and I have to say they were right, he shipped out fast and the strop is awsome!

Sounds like you had a great first experience. Congratulations!

Well done!!
Just did my 4th shave with a Str8 las night! With a Medallon Taurino Square Point....WOW no cuts no nips.. awsome razor! It was my 2nd complete shave..neck included..in the silence of the night..just with the sound of my razor cutting the beard..it was awsome! A ZEN moment!

This is so true, I have been doing it for 6 months and I still occasionally get a weeper, usually its do to a small surface imperfection, but the corner of the mouth can be tricky sometimes.

Congrats and good luck

Ahh surface imperfection, thats what you call it. I had one of those today, not too bad just a weep.

I did my first XTG shave on my neck today, WOW how smooth it was!!!

This is the best support forum site I have ever seen.

Thanks to all.

This is GREAT!!

Well done on persisting by adjusting your grip and angle!
