I just shaved with a cut-throat which I believe is over 100 years old. It was awesome :-D

The getting there.

It's probably the smoothest and least irritable shave i've ever had. No razor-burn, zero, none, nada. Also, no ingrowns.

It is a bit scary tho :-D Tracy refused to watch.

No, I didn't practice. I learned by watching a video and getting advice from http://www.badgerandblade.com/

You're a braver man than I. Never fancied trying a cut-throat myself.

It's actually pretty smooth although scary (it was the first time after all).

The best advice I got was "Don't stop". If you stop, the blade has a tendancy to go sideways. If that happens you get a 2" -> 3" long "smile"

*you* are awesome!
