Thanked: 735Going ATG with any straight there is going to be more resistance than you are used to. Yes,you must make sure the razor is as sharp as possible. But as has been mentioned, the ATG is pretty tricky with a straight.
I believe that you have just started with a straight?
A straight is a tool that must be learned how to be used for it to really shine. It is not a tool that makes it easier to get a good shave (a M3 is designed to do that) it is a tool that will repay patience and attention to details with a satisfying shave par excelllance, but not at the beginning. It takes time and practice.
You can go out and by a top of the line Gibson guitar, but if you don't study and practice and lern how to use it, you will never make beautiful music, and thus will toss that nice guitar out the window along with your Dovo.
Keep at it if you are interesyed in shaving as a hobby/pastime. If you are just interested in a quick, close shave, a DE or M3 will do the job quite effectively.
