Looks like I really have to do this now, it looks scarier in person:thinking:
Tired this week and a little under the weather and have to be in Kansas City next week so....
I am planning to do my right cheek Saturday after a good night's sleep and finish with my DE.

Wish me luck or maybe I should request prayers......
Well. You cannot blame it on the razor, unless the whiskers disappear and you don't cut yourself! :D
One of the nicest new razors I have seen in a while!
Enjoy! :nj
that is indeed a beautiful razor, and same. I don't really care for present new offerings.
I teetered on buying that razor for quite some time. I just caved minutes ago and treated myself to an early Christmas/birthday present to myself. An iwasaki tamahagane... let's just hope my fiance doesn't find out...
Man! That thing looks very dangerous! Maybe you should send it to me so you won't cut yourself..........he! he!
Just be careful, take your time, concentrate and Good Luck! Congrats, that's a beautiful razor!
I will eventually get a second with Ivory if my sport pans out, can't beat old time craftmanship.
Ummmmm, is this your first straight razor?
If so, then you are running a bit of a risk with that very nice razor. Personally I'd suggest starting with something a little less valuable as a first razor as that is the one that you will use to learn all of the creative ways to destroy a razor. Hint: they really do not like being dropped or banged against the sides of sinks or faucets!
Ivory is nice :)Quote:

Yes. I totally understand, oldblades offered me a razor to try but I did not feel comfortable with borrowing it and risk doing those things to it. I really like the looks of this razor and had to go with it. The non-round point and beauty will hopefully keep me slow and careful if not I willingly assume the repercussions...Quote:

as for shaving just take your time and especially watch that point by your ears and chin line.
Very lucky. Santa stopped coming to my house

BTW gflight, I have seen those Ralf Aust's before & they are remarkable! You are lucky to have one.
That's a beautiful razor and an awesome Santa, have fun!
Well, did one cheek when I got up here in KC, another night shaved the other cheek, last night I linked up with nun2sharp and watched him while asking a thousand questions, then went back to hotel and did my whole face.
Gave myself one little nick on my neck that alum took care of and finished with my DE. My confidence is boosted and my paddle and razor are broke in.
It is a very beautiful blade, I should have stolen it when I had the chance! LOL Glad to have helped, if you need anything shave related you can't find a better bunch of guys.
Well if you decide you don't like it just send it my way by Christmas time.:rofl2:
Went down to Carthage today and hit some flea markets. Finally have something to look for instead of being bored. Got a FW Fitch bottle and Pixie bay rum bottle. The Fitch was missing a lid so I grabbed a bakers best dandruff treatment bottle that had a lid that fit. Going to put clubman in Fitch until I come across a pinaud bottle and make some bay rum for the pixie bottle. Heading home tomorrow after our fraternal meeting down here. Tired of hotels....
Thanks much. I was looking at straights today too as went went down US49 overpriced junk the two cheap ones had a smile and a frown both on EACH blade.Quote:

Like a kid at Christmas, I just can't wait.
Got it, gonna love it! Hadn't bought a new razor since 2005. How many clean shaven men can say that ! LOL
I can,,,,:beer2:
I've never bought a new razor,, mine were all used or restored,,:shrug:
