well...i took the plunge and had my first str8 shave today, and after 40 min i arose from my bathroom with a decent first shave! it was a little tricky getting the nack of holding the razor against my face, but i ended up with no nicks, cuts, or weepers, and just a little irritation. i can still feel a little stubble under my nose and around the chin & neck area, but i presume that's normal for a first timer.
at one point i thought the razor was dragging just a bit, but i attributed that to most likely poor technique (both shaving & stropping).
Ph33nyx,
Glad it worked out good your first time out. As for the dragging be sure you do good face prep, I had shaves that felt like I used a piece of broken glass when I was done because I had the lather mix wrong, let it get to dry etc..
Good work! It gets better... and it's addictive...
The whole process, as well as the razors themselves...
Hello, my name is Stephen, and I've collected razors...
