First ever shave using a DE razor

Well my new Mühle R89 came this morning and I couldn't wait to use it!!
Fantastic shave with only one nick! And that was on my nose!!!!
Used Gillette 7s yellow and Geo F Trumper extract of Limes soap.

Hooked after one shave!!

Congratulations, David ... a fine start.

Great!! It only gets better.

You got off easier than I did from my first DE-shave - looked like I had gone though a meat grinder

Still... your nose? How you manage to nick your nose?

David, I once had a friend and mentor who always said "never look back"! It's all a part of the journey! Keep us posted, my friend!

I've absolutely no idea how I did it but it took ages to stop bleeding!! Even with styptic.

Good advice!! Thanks for that.

Welcome to the wonderful world of real wet shaving.

Congratulations, David and enjoy your future shaves!

One fine blade... begin with one of the best!

+1 what everyone else wrote!

Nice one David - well done mate.

Let me know if you need any more blades, creams or soaps to try and I'll happily PIF some up-country to you.

Cheers for that! I may take you up on that.

Cool, stay smooth

One of my first times I somehow ran the blade sideways where the top of my lip meets the skin and it was SO painful and bled for hours and hours. So you're doing good. Like others said, it only gets easier. At one time I was a bit nervous to try DE shaving and now I find it very calming and rewarding.
