Thread: Arrived today

I'd love a razor from the 1800s as well would be awesome and I am saving up and looking out for a English made razor as I'm English (well half and half Kiwi) and would be awesome to shave with a nice English peice of steel.

That one on ebay is niiiice.

Just had my first shave with my M Jung. It was my 4th straight razor shave overall and by far the best, the hone on the razor is brilliant to my untrained self. I managed to get my cheeks and upper lip the smoothest they have ever been and got my neck pretty smooth. Gave myself one pretty good bleeder by being stupid but the styptic pencil sorted that (I love how much it stings it gives great incentive to not cut yourself again!) I gave my chin and jaw line a go with the straight but couldn't get it right so finished up with my DE which was really nice.
Overall it took ages but gave me a MUCH better shave that a cartridge raor. Just need to work on my lather more and just keep practicing with my straight.
Oh yea and also make sure I don't mess the edge up when I strop it but I've been watching loads of videos and practicing with a cheap razor so all should be well.

In no time at all you will shaving
like a pro!!

When learning to strop take your time
and go slowly. As time goes by you will
get faster. For now speed only counts
if you are being chased by a cheetah!!
