Shave of the Day Shave 2 of 30 Day Challenge Music: Glitch Mob, "We Can Make The World Stop" Prep: hot shower, homemade PSO Razor: Morley 5/8 Brush: New Forest 2204 Badger Lather: Whoos the Man - Commander Shave: 3 passes; WTG, XTG, ATG + Cleanup Post: Stetson Another go at it with the straight for my 30 day challenge, trying to establish good shave technique with a straight, and work on lather building. Shave went well, no cuts to speak of just a couple weepers. Still trying to figure out how to attack my neck, I have to go sideways toward the Adams apple and I am not able to so that with my straight. So until then... I can't be perfectly shaven and that's frustrating. I'm smooth just not perfectly smooth. Anyways.

It'll feel awkward, no matter what angle you take. It simply takes practice to develop the muscle memory and for you to feel comfortable in whatever tack you take. Certain motions are still a bit awkward using my non-dominant hand, but 85-90% of the motions feel 'natural' after a year of SR shaving. Hang in there! It'll come some enough!
