Happy doing one N-S pass with the straight ,more concerned with holding the straight correctly and stretching the skin than achieving a close shave.
Only injury was a very minor nick on the cheek , styptic pencil sorted that , I was happy with what I had achieved on my first try .

We live for another day ,

Well Done Derrick! Sounds like a flying start to me, not trying to do a full shave + not trying to get a "clean" shave.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: SOC
Razor: Max Sprecher, 1/4 grind
Soap: LEA stick (new formula = great face lather soap)
AS: La Toja Manantalies
Strops. Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean

Gem SE blade (2)
Simpsons Eagle 3 3-band
Myrurgia stick - face lathered

Second ever go with an SE. Got really close but made the mistake of buffing a rough spot on my chin and got a few weepers as a result.

Am quite enjoying it though. Really satisfying raspy feedback when you use it.
