Thread: First shave with SR after Shavette

you never said who honed the razor ? but I use a feather disposable for travel so they are sharp ,, but more so than my straights? not so , if they are honed right they will be as sharp and much smoother. so technique is more than likely the issue ,, your expecting to much from a beginners standpoint ,, relax , slow down and take it slow,, good luck tc

I used a shavette for more than 7 months before purchasing my first shave ready straight razor. My experience was the opposite of yours and the first time I use a straight razor I found it to be all around superior to the shavette. There are a multitude of variables.....so many that they can support a Forum with a trillion members and a zillion answers to the same question asked a gazillion times......it is fun otherwise we would not be here. A door just opened with the purchase of a straight razor......good luck!

Good thread getting lots of good info
