First shave with a real straight this morning. Eh.......
Greetings All,
Had my first shave with a "real" straight this morning. I've been shaving with a Feather Artist Club Non Folding for the last 2 weeks and doing pretty good. This morning it was time to try out my new Ralf Aust 5/8 and Latigo Strop combo purchased from Straight Razor Designs. I think I need a lot more work in the stropping dept. There was a lot of pulling but I made it through the entire shave without any cuts or weepers. Not the cleanest shave but it was a shave none the less.
I gave it about 40-50 laps on the leather side before the shave. Should I have used the webbing first? Should I have done more than 40-50 laps?
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Eric
