Thread: first year with a straight

ahhh 2009 has gone quickly and my frist years with a straight razor has changed my way of doing things.the score. cuts 3 real cuts and too many weepers to count the worst cut took 4 days to heal. that was to my face but the real worst cut happened to my off hand , tought me to watch the razor or put it down. honing. this was a lot harder to learn than i expected.i have been making and sharpening knifes of better than 45 years. but this is a whole new ball game.now after honing some 40 razors , well i can do it but still have a way to go before i can get the job done as fast as lynn.the shave, good god in heaven who would of thought that shaving would turn out to be ....fun and that my mug could feel this good, like when i was 11.it has also made me a junk store junky. dont bother looking for straights in switzerland , i got them all. alll in all a great year
