Straight shaving really is an art. Sure I've found it pretty simple to just shave with, but getting that silky smooth close shave I can nearly achieve with my gillette fusion is the real challenge. The right side is much easier then shaving the left (off hand side) and boy does it show. My beard hair is simply like iron and gives me resistance despite my blade being very sharp. It also drinks a lot of moisture so its been tough to get a lasting lather. I have switched to olive oil as I find it lasts longer and helps the blade glide through. Also have been finding multiple AGT passes gets the best result. Seems if I do WTG at all I can't ever get it smooth no matter how hard I try.

Thanks for listening guys.
