First full Straight shave
So I finally got all my swag in order for a real shave. Poor Man's scuttle, honed razor, brush, Williams shaving soap. Managed to get the whole face done without missing anything. Some parts are a little lack luster; I'd say on par with a dead dead Mach 3 (yes I dropped the M-Bomb). Only got 2 small nicks, but one I'm blaming on the wife distracting me by trying to have a conversation with me. The other was totally my fault. Instead of shaving my hand thought it would be a good idea to shave like I was carving bacon off a ham. Both of them barely bled at all.
Needed at least 3 passes on the chin and upper neck to get it all, but I'm attributing that to my razor needing a better honing and stropping. I have to say though never have I had a shave that I would refer to as "refreshing". I actually can't wait for the whiskers to grow back so I can do it again.
HA!
This is awesome.
