I recently purchased a sight unseen razor from Larry at Whipped Dog. Today I finally had a chance to use it (or get up the nerve!) I'm happy to report that it went well with no bloodletting whatsoever. In fact, no razor burn either. That is more than I can say for my first DE shave, but then again, I have learned the no pressure lesson the hard way already.
i skipped the chin and mustache area while I was ahead. Little by little I think I might become a full time straight razor shaver.
i do have the styptic pencil at the ready for when the inevitable happens though!
