Short, fat, bald, and ugly plus confused. Yep a straight edge razor is a straight edge razor, you failed with a straight for the same reason most new guys do, you haven't been at it long enough. It's called experience and you will need more to learn, and the Kami is a different tool to maneuver. Plus chances are you haven't learned stropping or taking the first few shaves slow.

So sow down and learn what you have, throwing money at it expecting different results won't get you there. Tc
