My second shave. Almost killed me.
Got your attention with the head line didn't I, Maybe I should work for the local news.
I should apologize in advance for the extra long post. I was't sure where to post this but here it is. (the moderators can always move it if it belongs somewhere els) Any way Oh yeah my second shave Right here it is.
My second shave was today and it went pretty darn good, almost no razor burn and no nicks at all. I'm keeping a gouty till I'm real comfortable with a straight.
The part that almost killed me was getting out that stupid disposable to hit the areas I had trouble with. Thats when I got the most razor burn and a nick.:boohoo:
But something truly amazing also happened while I was shaving, I mentioned to my wife that some of the guys here shave there wife's legs for them and that once I get real good maybe I could shave her legs, get some rose scented soap and all that. She liked the sound of that.( Up till now she has been less than enthusiastic about my new interest )
Then she really shocked me and said maybe she would try out my Rolls Razor.
So here are some pics the first is the before and after of the restoration and customization of the first razor I bought A Wester Brothers Anchor Brand. my fist shave was with it.
And the next one is before and after of my second razor A Wade and Butcher. I will be leaving this one as a rustic. Thats the one I shaved with today. It could fit in Onimaru55's post The Rustiques (btw there is a little oil on the blade I forgot to wipe it off for the pic)
The Scuttle is one that for me could fit in the post about what you would consider Priceless in your collection. It's an old mug from nestle' hot chocolate, My Grandma had two of them and they where my favorite mugs. I got both after she past away and are among the few things I have from here house. So now every time I shave I think of fond memories of time with her.
