Thread: First Shave!!! Wow!!

Heyyy!
Today i had Oz do an amazing job of honing my razor!!! He was kind enough to let me watch, and he gave me some amazing tips for stropping, honing and shaving, and the edge he put on my razor was spectacular!

Anyway, I used a hot shower, lathered up, let it sit for a while, wiped it off, put a hot towel on my face for about 5 minutes, then lathered up again and began my shave. I felt very comfortable doing my right side burn (dominant side), so i progressed down my cheek, I managed to do the entire cheek and side burn area, and i felt pretty comfortable. So I then tried to do the very top area of my neck, just under my ear which went well, so i tried the the upper right half of my upper lip and a small part of my chin, I didnt feel that comfortable doing that, so i only did a very small part of it. I then tried my left side (non-dominant side) using my left hand, which was actually much harder than i thought it would be, I didnt feel that comfortable doing it so i stopped. I then finished off my face with my normal Quatro razor, it was also a good comparison.

After my shave, there was a massive difference between the str8 side and the Quatro side, the str8 side was much much smoother, you could tell even by running my hand over both sides and hearing the sound it made, as well as by touch. I cant wait to feel what a good str8 shave will feel like!! The Quatro also dragged a lot compared to the str8, the str8 cut through my hair like a hot knife through butter

It was an AMAZING shave, i loved every minute of the str8 part . I then cleaned the str8, dried it and oiled the blade and hinge (i got water in it).

I cant wait for my shave tomorrow lol.

Thanks Oz for putting an amazing edge on my straight!!!!! He is a true expert, professional and gentlemen!
