Thread: I survived!

+1 on the previously offered advice.

Always respect the blade. It can harm as well as help you while shaving.

Oh, Go for it. “Who Dares, Wins.”

It is why they make styptic pencils and suchers.

I didn't follow the shave the cheeks only advice when I started either, ha! Respect the blade, don't fear it!

I'm only a week in this time, after a 30 year break from SRs, but I've learned 2 things: 1) it's not like riding a bike...you do lose your skill, and 2) all parts of the process require time, focus and concentration...stropping, building a lather and especially shaving.

Yep.....soon as you think it's a piece of cake.....we will see your post(s) in the "Cut of the Day" thread......LOL....it ain't razor sharp for nothing !!!!!
