Thanked: 0Feel the burn!
Just completed my first str8 razor shave. Wow. There's a big difference between a str8 and my mach3 turbo. I used my new DA str8 & filly stop from Kenrup and orange bay rum soap by Colleen. It took about 30 minutes - and not a drop of blood. I had to cheat with my old razor in a couple of spots. End result is one of the closest shaves i've ever had.
I didn't really have any problems, but i do have two issues i'd like some advice on - when I was done, my face felt like it was on fire and while shaving areas with dense hair it felt like i was pulling the hairs out instead of cutting them off.
The razor is brand new. Prior to using it i stropped it about 20 laps on the green side and about 50 on the smooth. To get my face smooth, in most areas I had to go WTG, ATG, & XTG. Afterwards i rinsed with cold water, splashed on some dickensons witch hazel & finished with Nivea shaving balm.
