Wet shaving

For the month of November, I kept a pretty awesome mustache all month. For the month of December, I gave up shaving. For Christmas, I was given a wet shaving kit, which I had been looking at, but just too cheap to buy. So, today, I shaved off my beard. First, that might have been a dumb way to try to learn the art of wet shaving. But, it worked out. I just trimmed it down to my normal Van Dyke, which may not be as straight as it should, but, thats ok. My face feels great, and the shave is close. I did two passes, mostly because I didn't want to mess up my sideburns or the region I had designated to remain. I think I might get a little braver, and try for a third pass, to see if I can get it any smoother later this week. Using the brush was awesome, I can't believe that I didn't get one, and use it sooner. I think that if I keep this up for a few months, I might make the jump all the way to the straight razor. I keep thinking about it, possibly because its manly. I don't know, and I don't want to know if its not the truth, but I assume that Sam Elliot uses a straight razor. Long, sharp, and with some sort of bone handle. But, thats a digression. And I have a project to finish, so, maybe I will post some pics later.
