So over the last few months I have been slowly acquiring the supplies I will need to move to straight razor shaving. We are getting married in July so funding for new hobbies is severely limited. I started with a brush and the sample pack of shaving creams from Truefitt and Hill while still using my Mach 3. I also stole the soon to be wife’s graduation coffee mug for a shaving bowl. She didn't approve of this until she saw me whipping up some later which she thought was pretty neat. Then the first razor showed up and was sent off to be refurbished. The strop showed up a couple days ago. Yesterday, as has become our routine, I am creating a lather with one of the sample creams and she comes over to approve or disapprove of that days scent and says to me,
“When you get this straight shaving all figured out we will have to try shaving my legs”.
HOT DAMN. I had not even mentioned to her that there is a ladies forum and a whole group of ladies that already do this. She just thought it would be a cool thing to try. So I guess I have to add another notch in the tally of reasons to marry this girl.
