Looking for some help near Orange County, NY. Possibly a straight razor shave along w/ a lesson. I tried my first shave a few nights ago and things didn't go quite as well as expected. I think the lather was my issue. I was using Cella in the red container and because my scuttle has still yet to arrive I lathered right inside the container. Regardless of the blade angle the hairs were not cutting yet, tugging. After several tries I decided to quit before I cut myself and switched to the safety razor. Even with the safety razor the hairs were still being pulled leaving me to believe it was the lather. Note* My ebony scaled bismarck came shave ready honed by Lynn so I know the blade cannot be the issue.
