Well, I made the plunge into straight razor shaving a couple of weeks ago. I went straight from canned goo and Fusions to cream and a straight razor after having my first straight razor shave before my wedding and thoroughly enjoy it . I started with a Dovo Silver Steel and a sample pack from T&H. The first few shaves went as well as could be hoped for, I went slowly and only WTG the first few times to try to work on my technique. After my fair share of small knicks I have moved on to WTG, XTG and ATG passes. As expected it still takes quite a while to shave, but I love every minute of it.
The AD bug has also bitten...I have already ordered a DB 1.5x scuttle to upgrade from my SRD Bulldog designs mug, a tub of Grafton Cream and ASB from T&H, and a few soaps from Mama Bear to try out.
Thank you guys for all of your help and knowledge, I am really enjoying the art of shaving and having a wonderful start to my day. I still have a long way to go, but I am enjoying every minute of it and also learning more and refining my skills and technique.
