Over 700 messages, and it's only the 3rd??
Well I got thru reading them all, I think, but no time to reply.
Many great great shaves going on here so, way to go!
I'm in the beginning of my open blade focus and time is short but still doing my 1st pass with my straight and 2cd and 3rd pass with my Fatip Retro.
The head shave is a 3 pass with the Retro.

No blood, just a red spot on the neck that goes away in a few minutes.
But good shaves are happening here.
Now that using a butter knife for straight razor practice is out, here is a picture of my practice razor. I just put some tape on the blade so not to cut myself and then practice holding and using it with either hand.
I thought tje ideal to be over the top, most of my ideals take time to grow on people, so I kept quiet. Seems that's the way to do it, so here is a picture of my practice blade.

This razor needs a lot of TLC, so at the very least I can get some use out of it with very little blade work.
I'm learning to hold it and to avoid bumping the scales into things. So far, it has seemed to work getting my arm positions right too. Don't know if anyone else has done this before, but there it is.
Another silly ideal from the mind of
