Last night's shave confirmed my love of str8's. No pulling, no nicks, no cuts, no burn... and BBS!!!!! It was also my quickest shave to date.

To all the other newbies out there: I have only been shaving with a str8 for the past 1.5 months and with each shave I have noticed my technique steadily improving. The prep, the stretching of the skin, the blade angle and pressure, and shaving with my left hand. These are all skills that do develop (just as honing and stropping). Time, patience, and practice do make a difference.
