I've enjoyed every step of this journey.
- The mistakes taught me valuable lessons. "Don't shave when you have the hiccups" comes immediately to mind...
- The search for vintage razors is as much fun as finding them...
- The successes are worth far more than the failures...
- Being willing to try new ideas, new techniques, etc... expands horizons
- The failures in technique can be epic. I've learned to make sure not to try new techniques when facing a time issues. That and having some handy first-aid material right by the sink...
- The comfort level of a good straight razor shave is well-worth the learning curve...
- New razors cost far less then a new bike, a new Teleboard and boots
