Phew. My last straight razor shave was a dip in confidence, and today’s shave was a return of confidence. My last one was done while very very tired, which is obviously a bad idea. But, when you’re tired it’s hard to tell the good ideas from the bad sometimes.
Anyway, this is my 7th straight razor shave according to my new database. I keep finding myself repeating some age-old mantras that people always say about DE shaving – don’t use too much pressure, focus on the angle, don’t chase BBS, etc. I’m learning a new skill and it’s helpful to know to avoid these things, and it’s helping keep me out of trouble until I have more skillz.
