Hi folks, i am sure you get a lot of these newbie threads but here goes
I stumbled over this great forum after ordering a shavette and i have read numerous post here and learned a lot, so thanks for all the advice
today my shaving factory shavette (yes i am a cheap bastard) arrived and i just finished my very first shave. I took a towell soaked in hot water and wrapped it round my face while i made the lather with was quite easy due to all the videos and advice i got from this page. Put the lather on my face and started and it vent very well again i was surprised who "easy" it was that said i took my time an didnt apply pressure and so forth. I proceeded and got the shave done with only one minor cut on my cheek. ironically i got that cut seconds after i thought "wow this is easy" but i guess thats a rookie mistake
Now i am already wondering if i should by a real straight i am just not sure about all the honing and stuff that goes into a straight razor (call it lazyness but i know myself and i really doubt that i will get i done)
thx for a great forum
