It Probably Takes around about 30 Shaves to Become Competent with an SR..Maybe a 100 To Kinda Master Em..You will Need a Strop ASAP & Dont Expect a Great Shave or Great Experience in the 1st Instance..Shave Ready or Not..Ya Need to Put in Shaving Time..We have All Had to Do that... That Use Em & Love Em..Happy Shaving & Good Luck..Okay, this is attempt number 3. In 2008 I bought 6 vintage straight razors and none were shave ready. In 2014 I bought a Titan, that went rusty. Well tonight I bought a shave ready vintage straight razor from a fellow forum member. If I like the experience I will buy a strop and the paste.
It was this very video that helped me to get to grips with straight razor shaving, well worth watching and taking all of his advice.As a pretty recent convert I would say that is some great advice from Billy.
You have probably seen this before , but I found this one the best video on how to shave , and definitely how to start out. It seems like you are not going much just doing a small part of your face at first, but it really did help me develop an initial touch and confidence.
Good luck with it all.
@Sabre is proficient I believe with the AC type shavettes so providing the razor was sharp I expect he would have managed to get a decent shave from the straight razor although there are some diference between the two .
Glad to hear you're ok! I read your post as you were just about to undertake the trial then.... silence.I only ordered it from Billy's eBay account yesterday evening..
