    Good luck! But take it slow, especially with a spike point razor.. Don't try to shave yourself entirely if it's your first ever shave. But like I said, good luck and have fun

    PANLEE,

    Indeed wishing you a comfortable and good shave. Couldn't tell what you might or might not have read or watched here on SRP, but in my signature line below are a couple of links that can certainly help with what to expect from the shave and some excellent tips on technique, prep, etc.. One is an article and the Shave Test is a short video. Worth a look!!



    Best Regards,

    Howard

    Nice setup, and a beautiful blade! Take your time and really enjoy your first shave. You will love it. And the many many more to follow it.

    Good luck and has been said care with the spike point is a strong recommendation.
    Keep your concentration high and your angles low!

    Despite the high cost of living, it's still very popular.

    My RazoRock brain freeze arrived. It was meant to be lol.
