I’m in the safety razor camp too, they work amazingly. When I had a beard it was so thoroughly full of cowlicks I found it impossible to use a straight razor. One time I got a haircut and a shave from a barber, and the guy had to call another barber over to look at my beard because it was so fucked lol
Congratulations, that’s super exciting! Try not to be too scared, it’s gonna go great. 💜
Just make sure to follow all the recovery directions they give you.
