  1. Wonderful shave and photo, Jim!

    Excellent progress, Joseph! To go with a two-pass shave without DE backup on the second use of the straight is terrific, in my opinion. Looking forward to following your journey.

    Beautiful photo and shave, Herm!

    Nice photo and shave, Doug!

    Wonderful photo and shave, Clint!
  2. Thank you Perry.
  3. Thanks, Perry!

    Good confidence builder, I did the same thing. You will know when you are ready for the next step.
    Can't say anything bad about the 56 SS, good choice. Got 2 SS's, different years, love both of them....smooth operators.
    Nice!

  10. I agree Clint. The WDC-8 brush and the Krave razor are a match made in heaven.
  11. I only ordered the D plate as it was close to the Timeless razor gap. It was the right decision for me.
  12. 2nd shave today! Such an improvement already. I got a much better lather today. Possibly due to the new bowl. Less pressure helped a ton and I tried staying conscious of angle. Some neck oozing and irritation but much less. I had some tiny skin tags that may have caused some of the problem. Also I learned alum tastes awful. Dawn dish soap worked great defunking my brush along with 3 shampoos. Thanks everyone for the great tips I'm happy I had some improvement. Now the hard part is waiting for it to grow so I can shave again [​IMG]

  13. Sounds great Herm!
    Most cars I've had, the ride smooths out above 100 Mph.
    You might just like the ride at 9.
    This does require more attention to what your doing.
    Sound like you nailed 8!

    Great shave!

  15. You and I are brave YO's.....they recommend not to shave with Gent's Gin in the cold months, but we do because it's still nice :).
