Welcome to TSD! Nice setup you've got there! And a cool gift you've got there! Please let us know how she does!
As everyone on this forum will say it's all about technique and being familiar with your tools. You're gonna get some dynamite shaves outta that razor with some use!
Bildog2. I have never shaved with a straight razor, but would like too. The ones I got gifted might go into a shadow box to go into my man cave.
