First Shave

This morning I took my shower , then experienced my first DE wet shave.
I followed Ambrose post on how to break in a new brush, that worked great,
I snantized my vintage Gillette Safety razor. All systems were a go this morning. After my shower with a clean wet face, I lathered up. The brush and lathering went well. I used the suggested Hagen soap for the first shave.The brush was well broken in and lathered my face well. I a put a Lord blade in my vintage Gillette safety razor. Used a similar technique I use with
my M-5. Made the first pass slowly downwards rinsed the razor and continued shaving. I had no nicks and a delightful shave. I need to work on my angles a little better. This was the first shave and was a great experience.
I want to thank everyone and the past posts that made this a great shave.
 
I love the smell of lather in the morning.... it smells like..... VICTORY!

Congrats good sir. It's a great start to the day.

Congratulations on the first shave! It's only up and up from here!
Nice avatar, btw.... Just don't try to take any of Wile E's ACME shortcuts and use one of their gizmos to speed up the process.... Last I heard, it didn't work out so well for him! :lol:
