Hello Gentlemen,

I just shaved for the first time with my straight, how was it? I cant say it was that great really, i had some troubble with holding the razor (but im a first timer so it can just get better), I couldnt get that really close shave that everyone talks about, so after i was "finished" i went over one time with an ordinary BIC razor.

for the shave i used oil from taylor of old bond street and luxury soap from truefitt and hill.

I think the problem might be the sharpness of the razor, I tried the hair test thing but it didnt really work which is strange since I gave it to a professional barber to get it honed I also stroped it before the shave but the hair test didnt work..What do you think?
