    Default Thinking ans thinking...done! first full face shaving

    Mission accomplished!
    After years in knives I've bought for joke an old razor because I liked the gold etching
    After some time I've started to read about sharpening (is a thing that I do on knives from the '80 freehand with stones) and I've bought some old razors just to try restoring.
    I've find out a old nice Puma 89 and once sharpened just by stropping I was thinking...how can you be sure that it can cut?
    I've started past week with neck and it was easy and this weekend all face shaving.
    Wow very lucky to just make a micro scratch on my skin.
    Not very deep shaving but I'm proud of it.
    THanks you to Lynn about the video of how to strop a razor.
    Can't wait to have the next shave.
    THanks you SRP
