Ron, it is a very nice razor. Thank you for the heads up on this beautiful razor.

WOOHOO

It went phenomenally! it passed the G/F test she sat and watched me at first to see make sure that I did not slit my throat or something.

I used a Gillette D1 that was part of an 8 razor auction that I won on wednesday. I cleaned, sanitized, scoured, polished and oiled 3 of them, one a Z1 and the other a B2 they all cleaned up very nicely. Popped in a Derby that i got from letterk as part of the 5 blade sampler pack.

Lathered up with my cheapo burmashave brush I got at the grocery store (I will be replaceing this ASAP) using C&E Sweet Almond Oil Cream, and went to town!

It took me 3 passes N-S, S-N, N-S but I finally got a shave that I was satisfied with, I took the advice of everyone here and went slowly, NO NICKS! Splashed the cold water on then went with a nutrogena after shave(haven't found any I like yet locally(anyone got a sampler pack? It's hard to buy them over the internet if you dont know what you are getting.)

While my face does feel raw, I attribute that to this being a new thing

* First try of a Tesco blade and I'm stunned, it's without doubt the sharpest blade available from a normal retailler in the UK and a £2 for 10 an absolute bargain. To look at them you'd think they're a generic unbranded blade as there's nothing printed on the blade but get them inside your razor and you're in for a treat. Big thanks to John (yasuo200365) for the tip.

Congratulations, MSimcox, on a terrific first shave! It only gets better from here. And bravo on your selection of C&E Sweet Almond Oil for your virgin shave--its one of my faves. In fact, I think I'll use it for this morning's shave!
