Well I don't know how long you have been using a straight but i get my best shaves from just taking my time & enjoying it.
It doesn't matter how sharp your razors are or how many times you strop it before and after a shave, or the rituals you go through, it all comes down to patience & taking your time & enjoying it.
I have cut myself loads of times & most of it was down to rushing because of trying to jam it in there along with all the chores of the day.
So i'd have my shave at night before bed.
What i also realised is that the routine of doing all the rituals before hand wasn't exactly helping.
It was like it was building up the anxiety.
So when the razor touched my face it was like a soldier was shouting,"GO GO GO!"
Now i do the rituals the day before the shave, i make sure the chores are done & everyone in my household are happy so I don't get disturbed, so when i do have that shave, it's a good one & most importantly i enjoy it.
Make time for your shave because it's your time.
Hope this helps
