Hey guys. Day 2 of straight razor shave (on cheeks only). I finish up with a Dovo shavette that I am comfortable with. I am using a Dovo from SRD so I know it's a decent edge.

My question. My shave is not close with the Straight razor. Is that expected? Also, slightly uncomfortable as well, as in face burning. I feel like I might be forcing things a bit but also thought my experience with a shavette would help. Guess not...lol. I have really focused on the angle since I know the shavette is a bit more forgiving.

Basically I need reassurance that it's a learning curve and it will get better. Thanks ahead of time.
