Hi all,

Just had a few questions I wanted to ask that I can't seem to find the answers too.

1. How long should it take for your face to get used to using a straight razor. Can some irritation be expected in the first few shaves? I am still new and know my technique and lathering still need work.

2. After each stroke I have been rinsing the blade under water and then try to careful dry it on a towel before going back to my face. Is this the proper way?

3. When stropping should I hear any sound? I keep reading about a high pitch sound but not sure if that's what I am getting or if it is a normal sound.

Any advice on these topics would be greatly appreciated.
