First proper Straight Shave ! (so much for waiting)
So the toronto boys meet up was a great time, I was lucky to have Maxi ready one of my blades right there on the spot so i could bring it home and use it while my sheffy was being worked on
was going to wait till tomorrow or monday to bank some nice stubble to shave with,... but well,... you know how waiting goes, I washed my face with warm water and a cleanser, let a towel sit on my face for about a minute with some thick lather under it ( dont usually do this but figured it couldnt hurt), then lathered up some Calani Dubai soap, a german soap that makes for an exceptional shave, one of my best soaps in the collection
once all the prep work was done i clasped my Blade and gave a north south stroke or to with my strong hand on that side and had fantastic first time out results,.. swtiched hands to the other side, was trouble free but left quite a bit of stubble behind, will blame this on angle here,
dropped to the neck and had more then a little bit of inconsistant everything's but didnt hurt myself and was blood drop free through it all
since there was no harm in it i relathered and passed north south again to get a little more feeling for the way the razor was held,... more so for my weaker hand,... got two nicks,.. but cold water took care of them, they were small indeed and my off side cheek was now where it should have been after the first pass felt much better with the blade and had some more confidence.
Re Lathered up and tried a south north pass cheek on strong side again good results, off side okay but not great, and neck and chin area still a bit of a struggle but didnt hurt myself, since i dont have to work till tuesday i left things alone here,... my cheeks were a good shave looked okay felt okay little hairs here and there to the touch, but in the mirror, it looked good,... the neck was almost "work" passable but not quite there.
With a second shave monday ill see where im at then ! with more times out and more confidence can only get better and better
Im on happy Boy at the moment !
Finished off my Shave with the Veg,... this deserved nothing less lmao !
