Hang in there man. Shaving with a straight razor is a very rewarding experience, but it is not that comes natural/right away. Takes a little bit of time.
Now-a-days I alternate between a really nice electric razor for work days when I am running a little late in the mornings, to a DE razor...
My wife and I are about the same height, and although my wife would be happier with a size 36, the size 38 works well since she layers when it gets cold enough to need the Peacoat.
For me I am enjoying my 1965 size 40 enough that I found/located another size 40 in Ebay, this time from 1949 (or...
Last two days here in Dallas have been in the upper 20's, low 30's, and man I LOVE having my 1965 Peacoat for this cold weather - just about perfect :)
The older (1949) size 38 now is used by my wife. She had our Taylor adjust the sleeves for her, and although a little wide on the shoulders...

Well, if I am allowed to bring back the original question about leather jackets, I don't currently own a single leather jacket :eeek:
I do have incoming a budget A2, but I do in fact have too many jackets. In fact, that is my weakness - I love jackets. Thankfully there is ebay, and that is...
Lately I have been wanting to buy a leather jacket, so I found this thread on an a low cost jacket. I happen to find one of the Sporty Pilot Shop leather A2 jacket, from back when they still made them in the USA. That is, assuming the labels are even accurate/true, right? The description of...

Even more so when I share with a straight - not so "critical" with a DE. I can do the first pass without it, but it is a must for the final/cleanup pass :)
Man, I only know one, and I don't even know what is called. I learned it good enough that I can do it without a mirror, many times in the ride down from the elevator to the lobby of the hotel :)
Yes, it was great to visit Seattle. Filson has a new office with sales show floor (also in Seattle), so next time I will try to visit that one:
