Thread: Reaching back to go into the future

Well, Folded my friend you've come to the right place. If you lay out some specific queries there's some pretty experienced hands here that can address those questions. The first contribution I'd like to make is that when most guys start shaving with a SR the usual reaction to the first coarse shave or two is "sh*&t this razor's blunt!". If your razor was professionally honed and you haven't buggered up the edge in some way ;-) it's not blunt: it's the user's lack of technique. It really takes a few months of steady progress before the muscle memory and general skill level builds up.

Don't give up; we've all been there. Just start with the down stroke on the cheeks, don't worry if you have to use a DE or even a plastic razor to finish your shave, eventually you'll be able to do most of your face with the straight. So hit us with some specifics and we'll see what sort of help the crew can give.
