I took the plunge!

After todays shave I wound up with two nicks, but it was still one of the best shaves to date!

Why? You may ask.

Because it was my first straight shave. And all things considered, it went pretty ok, I think. I'll almost look presentable once the irritation around those two nicks goes away.

My setup:
Hot shower
Vulfix 2234S
TOBS St James. SC
DE Harris Arlington ASB
And a TI Le Grelot from Martin@rasurpur's starter set: http://www.rasurpur.de/english/shop/straights/sets/sets.html

Welcome to the world of straight shaving. Looking forward to future posts once your need to acquire more razors sets in !!

Well, too late

I already bought a few blades, and I am currently looking at getting my first hones, so I can see if I can get shave readyness out of those.

You're on the fun side of shaving! You made it! The best part of straight razor shaving is that you learn something new every time you shave, even months after you started.
