Hey guys,
Just bought my first straight razor a few days ago, shaved twice with it.
It came presharpened, but i chucked it on the hone first just to make sure, left it 20 mins then stroped it. With both things i did my best to keep the spine on the stone and the strop in order to achieve consistency.
Got a decent shave, and a couple battle wounds from it to haha
Im quick to recognise the learning curve, especially because I can feel like the razor is pulling at the hairs instead.
I have absolutly no doubt that with practise will come more results.
Anybody got any advice for this newbie to make sure im practicing the right things

Cheers
