So I came to the decision that straights are going back into my rotation after a short run of use about 8 months ago. My original journal described some early experiences like having to chase a mosquito around with the straight....but the fact of the matter is that I have AS and have little range of motion in my neck and found the acrobatics for face stretching to be very uncomfortable
then I came to two realizations: 1) you can shave any way that works for you and 2) My fiancée is now shaving her legs with a straight.
So I decided it was time to shave like a real woman. Busted out the Frederick Reynolds, gave it 60 laps on leather and went at it.
Face lathered with TOBS lavender because TDG (the domestic goddess) said it was a crummy latherer and I had to give it a run. Whipped up a lather with the Shavemac 2 band silver tip and went to town.
So I did three passes. I can't really tell you the true direction of any....I turned my straight into a transformer finding new ways that work for me. I have decided that I will be shaving entirely with my dominant hand....and finding new and creative ways to stretch with my left. I had traditional grips, reverse European grips, kamisori in there a lot and I may have even used my feet. In any respect....three full passes, no nicks, no cuts and approaching DFS. Cheek to jawline was great! The alum sang me a long lullaby under my jaw and chin....but all in all not bad.
TDG was right.....the TOBS lavender is not a great latherer...at least not this tub. Wondering if the consistency was altered during shipping.
Anyway, today was day one of a new job....and I'm just glad I didn't have to explain a long three inch gash on my face. Onward and upward!
