Thread: First straight razor shave...

If you are still using the disposable while letting your face heal from the straight. Continue to practice your lather. You will pick up on it quick. When you shave with the straight make sure your angle is right, about the width of the spine away from your face. Then technique will help keeping the angle all the way through the stroke.
Make sure you stretch your skin to help.
Just curious but what type of razor did you get, and was it professionally honed. Or did it come "Shave-ready". Another problem could be that it isn't sharp enough.
