Thread: Worst shave I ever had

The first few shaves with a str8 are supposed to suck, so don't get discouraged.

All of the above - I'm also worried you might have rolled the edge that you had at the start - if you have a pasted paddle try to really sharpen it up.

But also, don't try to learn all at once. Straight shave for two or three days and then do DE the rest of the week, and then go back for two or three days of straight shaves. That way you won't get frustrated, will give your face some time to heal, and will allow you to let go any bad habits you are picking up and start fresh the next round of straight shaving.
