I always wanted to try straight razor shave but for me the cost is a determining factor and therefore i chose double edge razors instead. Been de shaving for a while now.
But i could always try the cheap alternative and thats exactly what i did today!!
My setup -
Cheap shavette.
Gillette Permasharp blade
Biotique bio palmyra cream
Alum
Old spice aftershave.
So i lathered up with the bio and as usual it produced a great rich lather.
Now for the shave, it was an average shave, no blood shed (phew!!).. The right hand was pretty natural and i didnt have problem with it. I got the right cheek and right part of the neck with a certain ease.
But it was a whole different story with left hand (drunken monkey). The cheek was okay, but the neck was very difficult.
And then the chin, i struggled here as well!
Any suggestions on how i can improve?
I thought i might not be able to step out of the house because of all the bleeding, but it definitely wasnt that bad.
Cheers!
