    Lots to learn but a fun start.

    It gets better with each shave. Keep your razor sharp and your mind open to continue learning.

    Day 3: Learning has occurred, but I gotta upgrade the crappy brush I got from Colonel Conk's clearance specials.

    Here's the link:
    http://straightrazorpalace.com/shavi...0-cut-day.html

    For some reason it's not brought up a lot but there is a very handy way to search for things here at SRP. If you look at the Top Right Hand Side of the Welcome Page you will find an Advanced Search Box. Type in what you are looking for and chances are you'll find it there. That is how I found the link that I just posted.

    I hope this pic works and that this has been of some help.

    See the Box and Arrow in RED.

    Good show-Too bad about the cheapo brush and the cut, but at least you have a fine Solingen razor, so it can only get better. My 1st brush was a $15 Tweezerman; it works fine, and I still use it occasionally!

    If you PM me your address I'll give a nice brush from my collection. If you like badger brushes. This is the brush, Dan
