Hey all, I recorded my first straight razor shave, and I'm looking for some advice.

Here is the video:

It's kind of long, and I definitely wouldn't mind if you skipped around in the video. But I'm looking for feedback on both my soap building technique, and my actual shaving technique. If there is anything that you think I should change, please let me know.

As for actual results: it wasn't the closest shave of my life, but considering I had a full beard, I think it went pretty well. I have a tiny cut on my chin, and a bit of razor burn around the cut. But, all in all, I think I'll take it.

Thank you all so much. This forum has made my dream of straight razor shaving possible!
