First time
First time
So I have been using a DE for a while and have now taken the step into the world of straights. Shaved with a straight for the first time (successfully) last night. It was absolutely the best and I still have a lot of fine tuning to do. I have been lurking here for a while and appreciate all the advice and tips that are offered here.
Re: First time
Enjoy your straight. There's a bit of a learning curve but well worth it.
Re: First time
It 's an investment in time as well as money. I hope you enjoy this part of the shaving experience as much as I have.

Re: First time
I have been playing with honing as well, and purchased a few old razors from eBay to practice on. Got my first good shave tonight from a razor I honed. Thanks again for the wealth of information posted here, you guys are the best!
Re: First time
Don't forget to watch videos by Lynn on youtube. He has covered almost every part of straight shaving. Enjoy and take your time. Haste makes waste.
