Hi. My name is Bruce. Have had a couple of posts here and wanted to thank everybody. I've been using a straight for about two months now. Though I've gotten better and enjoy the process it seems like I hit a brick wall. Still can't get a shave as decent as my DE. So I say to myself a lot lately, why bother. There are so many factors that go into the process, I'm not sure where my problem is. Angle, lather, Stropping, who knows. I do know my Stropping needs improvement. Seen dozens of videos, but it's not like anyone can watch me. I'm trying to modify my technique, using less pressure, showing down, etc. But I'm pretty sure I'm not helping my edge. my cheeks come out fine but with under the nose and chin, no matter what I do, I get stubble. My question is, is such frustration common? How do I overcome it? Someone should open a school where you can learn this stuff LOL. That's for your help.
