Agree... I need to man up sooner or later and practice face lather and traditional as well... I just enjoy my new shaving cream scent with my bald frog soap...

Gents,

Every shave is getting better and better.. My stropping felt very smooth last night with minimal wrist turning and only flipping the razor between my fingers. I am most excited about my...

You are right. The price isn't bad for how many you get, but it was I think 8 dollars to ship the pins and I think I just got 2 12" rods. That to me is pricey. But you know what I am just excited to...

Just ordered pins and washers... is it just me or is it kind of expensive for little rods and washers haha o well.. things I do for shaving :shrug:

Man guys... im so pumped right now... that shave was relaxing and pretty friggin good!. so 3rd shave tonight and i finished my whole face and used both hands... still need to work on prepping the...

That was my exact plan for when I upgrade to a better strop.

Alright so last night I took a hot shower, lathered up, and went after it.... I basically only shaved the sides of my face because I was kind of dumb and didn't trim down my beard first so it wasn't...

Just received my "new" honed razor! pretty excited... I love the Top Flight logo... my shave brush/ set is coming later today, so I will have a nice shave tonight since i have been growing out the...

I love posting pictures so that won't be a problem haha

Awesome! What kind of razor are you getting? I picked up one from the classified. A Burrell cutlery co. Top flight.. Looks like a pretty cool razor, and from what I read has a nice shave.

just got the first piece of my orders from this past week. my strop. it is a cheapo one which was made in pakistan, but i figured it would be ok to learn on for my first go around. the hardware and...
