****All Possible by Trader Joe....THANK YOU JOE**** Hot Shower Erasmic Cream SR 3126/Ayar's Bowl/Moss Scuttle Gillete Tech with Derby Blade (FIRST DE SHAVE EVAH) Warm Rinse Cold Rinse Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe Old Spice Aftershave Good shave....Really quick too....i was suprised how easy it was to shave with a Duel Edge coming from shaving with a straight. Might as well been my Mach 3. Minor skin irritation, probably due to first shave ever/angle and what not. I would definately pick this habit up. So much easier than a straight shave, but then again....its not a straight shave One question....i notice on the blade that they are numbered. 1-4. How exactly do you use that numbering to your advantage. Do you actually open up the razor before a shave to make sure your on the right number. Does that mean that 1 blade lasts you 4 shaves?
Awesome! Glad to hear it went well, buddy. You'll master it soon enough The numbering on the blades doesn't really tell us anything. Most blades have it, and while it does help to distinguish "sides", there's no value in it. I think some people flip the blade after using one side.......
Thanks Joe....all possible by you. Yeah i was shocked how relatively easy it was to shave again. As im sure you know, Straight shaving takes into account angle/pressure and what not.......when i dropped the blade in and took my first pass...i was like....WHOA....i have speed again
You're right about that, the straight shaving was/is a challenge and a time commitment.........I will sometimes use the straight that Rich (wilbur) sent me on the cheeks and do the rest with one of my DE's Don't forget, however, that you'll need to pay attention to angle with a Double Edge razor as well
Long live the straight! But yeah, the Tech is a very nice shaver. After you get a few shaves in, slap a Feather blade in there and you'll really feel like you're cutting through butter with a hot knife! Congrats on the DE shave, Issac!
Interesting never heard of anyone transfering from a streight to a double edge. How do you think the resut compared to the result from the stright edge?
It was a good shave. Alot quicker than the straight. I think they matched up pretty well, but then again im not an expert with the straight yet....so take it for what its worth.
