I’ve got a couple straight razor shaves under my belt now, just enough to feel a little over confident, and just enough to know I probably shouldn’t be.
This is straight shave number five, and I’m barely starting to get a feel for the blade, the angles, and where things can go sideways real quick. There’s progress here, no doubt, but let’s not pretend I’ve got it all figured out....not even a little. But, today was a fail.
If you’ve been thinking about picking up a straight razor, this is that in-between stage, not the first shaky attempt, not mastery either, just honest learning, a few small wins, and a healthy respect for the steel.
We’ll call that a shave. Y’all stay smooth.
