Advice needed
Hello to all, i have few questions about the cutting edge of a straight razor, i have to say that i'm a noobie on the subject(4) shave whit a straight and(9) whit a shavette. My first question for my straight i received a straight from whipped dog who was shave ready, is it my technic who is not good or my stropping, i have lots of difficulty to cut the whiskers of my face. Has for my shavette i didn't any difficult cutting the wiskers, even on my first shave on my shavette i was able to do 3 pass Whitout major cuts or nicks. My second question is i get razor burn on my face whe i use my straight after 2 pass even if i do WTG, is it my angle or is it the blade?? Is my stropping is right? I only have a leather strop and my routine of stropping is 20 laps after the shave and 40 laps before shaving. When i stroppe i make sure the blade is flat on the leather and i also cross strop cause my strop is 2" wide. I know i'm still in the learning process but it's not fun to get razor burn. I would like some advices
