Bummer. But, on the other hand, I know a good home if your want to be sure your razors are well taken care of :cool:

One of my favorite injectors, the Schick C3. When I first got it I thought it shaved like a brick and almost put it back up for sale. That would have been a mistake as it now gives me one of the most trouble-free and smoothest shaves in my den. :p Hot water preparation MSC Black Tie Shave...

OK, I’ll ask one. Is there any purpose to the rough leather strop other than to use with paste? :unsure:

I hear ya! I am by far not-skilled and had zero confidence going in and greatly doubted that I’d ever master the straight. It is a longer learning curve. I’d say it took about 30 shaves before I felt like I was somewhat comfortable in my technique :oops:

Same regarding both hands as a result of straight shaving and it has carried over when I revert to a safety razor. However, for whatever reason I’ve never switched hands on the ATG pass on the right side of my face. No idea why.

Insanely close 2-pass shave with the Bunny V3. The shave is identical to the V2, that is to say, amazing :cool: Hot water preparation MSC Vintage Shave Soap Romera Wenge Manchurian Badger The Bunny V2 with Wild comb Shulton Old Spice After Shave Happy shaving - Karl
