My second straight-razor shave went great. Not the closest shave I've ever had, but not bad, and basically no shaving cuts. And hey, if my second shave went this good, my tenth should leave the regular safety razors in the dust. I used less water with the shaving soap this time, which worked a little better, but I think I'm still gonna wind up using something else long-term.

The hot tub guy tells us that the *other* pump has just gone through problems fairly similar to what happened with the first one. But hey, this isn't happening right before a DHP :-)

Basically no shaving cuts?

Two places where I nicked a bit close, and while I didn't get a 'real' cut, I got a very small amount of blood which, once wiped away, didn't come back.

Where do I get a good straight razor?

How do I keep it sharp?

As to where you get it - order something expensive and German online, or look on EBay for something old, classy and used.

You keep it sharp with a razor strop and, about twice a year, a sharpening stone. I've got the former, but not yet the latter, and I'm doing pretty well by it.

my bf uses regular shaving gell, but he squirts it into a little bowl and uses a shaving cream brush to apply it!
