Hey All,

Just wanted to post up my first shave experience. Well today my first straight razor shave. I've been using brush/soap and a disposable for a little while while waiting for my razor to come in and to get used to lathering and such.

My razor blade passed the HHT and would "pop" hairs on my arm almost at the top of the hair. To me, this made me think it was sharp enough.

I went to shave this morning and it was not a complete disaster but there were nicks and some pulling.

My assumption is that the straight razor should feel as sharp while shaving as a single-blade disposable correct?

I suppose I just need to get used to it and I know that my technique probably wasn't perfect. Any advice?

Thanks,
Bryan
