First time straight shaving was just... weird.
So I just got done with my first straight shave. Just got two razors honed up so I was really exited. However, now that I finished, I'm just scratching my head. It didn't feel like it was necessarily cutting and it was getting stuck against the grain on my chin going up. All the spots I shaved over (sideburns, chin, and mustache) are still feeling like I didn't go over them (I shaved yesterday so I can't really tell how much it took off). It also didn't feel sharp and I'm surprised I didn't get any cuts at all even though there we're many times I thought for sure I deserved one. Straight razors must be very smooth and forgiving. My razor also didn't pass the hanging hair test but I know it's sharp because I just got it back from getting honed. I just feel like I'm in the twilight zone, lol. It must be my angle. I'm just surprised angle made that much of a difference.
At this rate, it's going to be a weird ride.
