My first shaves with a straight were fairly ordinary - especially compared to the ultra-smooth results I get from a DE. That's improved with practice over the last week or so and I owe a big thanks to Jimbo for his help, generosity and encouragement.

Here's my problem.

North-south and south-north passes are going reasonably well. A few minor gremlins still to fix, but it's all looking positive. However, in order to get a smooth shave (BBS being the target), I need to shave east-west (right side of my face and neck) and west-east (left side) and I can't figure out a sensible way to hold the razor or the correct strokes.

Any advice you can offer would be very, very welcome. If there are any videos you can point me to, that would be wonderful.

Cheers

Jeremy
