So I have heard a lot of good things about starting a journal. Especially when starting Straight Razor shaving. So I decided to actually just start a shaving journal altogether, i've been a member here for awhile not sure why I didn't start this sooner.
I have been wet shaving for almost 2 years. And currently I am only using DE's. I will post in here my daily SOTD sometimes I will even include pictures. Currently I shave Sunday through Friday and Saturday is my day off.
I never strive for BBS but every once in awhile one sneaks up on me! I tend to always get a very nice DFS shave with no irritation. I always do two passes and two passes only! First pass WTG second pass ATG.
I recently won a Gold Dollar straight from dcaddo111 and it should be here this Thursday or Friday. Also alpster is sending me my first strop which will be here in the same time frame. Honestly I think I will reserve Saturday's for my straight shave in the beginning as I am sure that it will take longer than my 20 minute DE shave. As I become more comfortable I am hoping to add in more straight razor shaves.
If you want to follow along with this journey with me , I welcome any advice or feedback, and hopefully I can provide pointers to others as well!
A little about me, currently I am 27, married, and have 1 son, who just turned two! I work for a major bank, managing a process improvement department; we call it User Acceptance Testing. I have been working here for 8 years, they paid for part of my undergrad, and have paid for my whole MBA that I graduate with on 4/30/2016.
I am a sports fan I root for the University of Utah, the Utah Jazz, and Oakland Raiders. I enjoy baseball and hockey as well but don't follow any particular team. I love to golf and do that on the weekends quite regularly weather permitting. Along with collecting shaving gear I am also into nib(thanks B&B), numismatics, and movies. I am also a member of the Knights of Columbus and coach jr. high girls basketball.
Next post will be about today's shave!
cvargo's Shaving Journal. Introducing Straights SOON!
