Thread: My first attempt at SR shaving

Coming from someone with really coarse hair, my first shave with a SR was a downer in a way. The slicing power compared to a disposable Mach 3 razor was very different. But after talking to my grandfather, he said that's why he switch over. It was easier and sharper. LOL! That's when I knew it was just the nature of the SR. So I continued on with traditional SR shaving. Being a perfectionist, I honed my razors to the sharpest I can get them. There still is slight resistance compared to disposables, but it's very smooth considering. It's amazing how what used to be thought of a s a pain in the rear, has become to be seen as an art form and respected. Recently I found out that my grandfathers brother never left straight shaving. He said it's the only way.
