Thanked: 37It took me about a year to get a shave that I felt like WOW! I started with a Straight but also had a DE and a shavette. Go slow and build up certainty with practice. I dulled my first razor with bad stropping learned to fix it with data acquired here. Videos can help. But like others have said, don't rush it. You can notice getting better. If youre stuck check sharpness, technique, stropping, lathering. There are many factors that contribute to a great shave.
Arise, awake, and learn by approaching the exalted ones,
for that path is sharp as a razor’s edge, impassable,
and hard to go by, say the wise. Katha Upanishad – 1.3.14
