SOTD : Saturday 17th April to Friday 23rd April 2021.

Love it I was exactly the same with my first straight shave couldn’t just stick to the cheeks did 2 passes and didn’t get a very close shave but thinking back my first shave with a DE wasn’t very close either..I got some irritation for a short while learning but that certainly improved with time and before I knew it the DE for touch ups wasn’t necessary ! I’m glad you enjoyed it nothing beats it the guys on here have been great and helped me an awful lot with learning the straight, great bunch. The declaration sounds wonderful too will have to try some at some point
Yep! I was done with cheek on one side and decided ‘screw this, let’s see how it goes’ and before I knew one side was pretty much done haha! To be honest I rarely suffer from irritation luckily, but my guess it’s due to me getting my face ‘rubbed’ quite often before lockdown (I practice jiu-jitsu ) so it might be more resilient lol

yeah they’re definitely great! Will be giving it a go at least couple times a week - probably today evening I’ll have another shave with it and then strop it for the first time!

they do have great products ! Just really a shame it’s so hard to get them here :(
