straight Razor Shaving
- Thread starter sportsmedjosh
- Start date
So Lynn smokes cigars? Do you happen to know what kinds he likes? I've been meaning to send a razor to him for honing so I can see what an expertly honed razor shaves like. Maybe I'll have to include a cigar or two in the box . . .

Well I'm back to report that my first straight razor shave was 50% successful. I started with my right side and when I placed it on the skin is when I started to cut myself. I switched sides to the left and it was more successful. I did the first full pass with great success but the second pass against the grain I decided to switch to my power fusion

and did my skin thank me for it. I have a little burning but the septic pen and the after shave really helped out. I'l be trying it again until I get it down.

size does matter
for my face, only Gilette. at work I cut hair with both, disposable blades and straight razor.
I am just not patient enough to give it a whirl, heck, most of the time I shave with my clippers and leave some stubble

:rofl: Ain't that the truth!!! :headroll:
Way back when I started shaving we just used our Bowie knives sharpened on a river rock with the lather from a yucca root. Kinda like these new fangled disposables. I think they call it.....progress.

I'd let a professional shave my face with a straight razor, no freakin' way I'm gonna try it myself though.

I think this video is pretty cool. Looks like a fast process once you get it down.

I thought the same too and was trying to figure out what the song was after the first one.

Sorry man, just way to much work.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you (had to work today), but I know that he loves Tatuaje/Opus/VSG and basically what we all like.
I hug out with him all day today, and got him to sign up here.
His handle is "Lynn."
Enjoy.

Brian I felt the same way last night, I shaved with my fusion. Today I have a shadow and I took the straight edge to it and was able to pull a lot off with no cuts. However I did it dry and did pull off some skin, but it was like if I was exfoliating. I'm going to stick with this.
Me too... i keep the dome, stache and goat at a #1 with t he clippers and the hecks and neck with no guide. I clean up the edges with what ever disposable the wife has for her legs. I used to dry shave with a six month old Gillet sensor, probly for 10 years I bout 3 razors a year and just used em. Never really cared. shit goes out in 5 hours anyway.
