John has shaved with his straght razor

[John]

So the le dandy 6/8 sininging razor handcrafted in France haven't used it in 4 long months it was honed and stroped and had 3in one oil on it ,so a wash later the strop. It was nice of it to cut my knuckle. The shave went pritty good no cuts I don't know about the angle of cutting on any body's razor but this one is very shallow I enjoy using it but still miss parts of my beard around my chin:blush: a bit more pratice needed

Nice one.

Stick at it and eventually the shaves will be effortless and smooth.

I hope so, I do love using it. every time my dad pops round my house he asks if I have shaved with it He used to have one but could never keep it sharp. Gess I have done better than him:icon_razz:

Done that one, lowered into a false sense of safty with the towl whilst cleaning it that one did bleed for 20 mins, soon learned to use my thumb and first finger to pinch blade to wipe. Live and learn.
