    Default First time and no stitches!!

    Well, today I took an open blade to my face and neck for the first time and came away with no blood!! I did as was suggested and took it easy starting with the sides of my face but after getting through that I did the rest! With and then on some areas across the grain – it’s wasn’t down to the bone and baby’s bum smooth but I’ll get there I’d like to thank the member who sharpened and stropped my blade ready, it’s actually a friends but I have a Wapi coming to call my own at the beginning of next week.

    I’m hooked – it’s a great experience just spending a bit of time on yourself in a... well... manly way.

    Default Good goin'

    Great fun init? I am on to my fourth shave tomorow and right from the start I have found that I get fewer nicks (apart from the one cut when I first put blade to face with a shakey hand) I finished off with a double edge razor as I was late for work and it was then I nicked my neck. I always used to cut my chin with a safety razor but not once so far with the open razor. This forum site is fab.
