First straight shave tonight went okay
Well I finally got my vintage razors back from a honemeister and used them tonight. It was my first time with a straight and I got one small nick on the jawline in front of my right ear which barely even bled. I was surprised at how easy the neck was but the goatee area was a bear! I ended up have to clean it up with the DE afterward.
Overall I was underwhelmed with the shave. I've been using a DE and badger brush with some high end soaps and creams for over three years now I get some great shaves. I didn't get the straights because I wasn't happy with my current setup, I got them for the nostalgia and coolness factor. I guess we'll see if I stick with it. How many of you regular straight users use a DE regularly as well? Those Feather DE blades are hard to beat!
