I didn't have time to tell all about my first shave so I'll tell about my first two.

I purchased my first straight, a Wapi from KenRup.

I took Lynn's advice about starting with just the cheek area, two passes, the rest with my slant.

I know that one should have only one variable at a time but I used Truefitt & Hill samples because I wanted to try them to see if I wanted to take advantage of a sale they have until the 28th. (a good deal by the way if you're looking for T&H cream and aftershave balm)
I also used a makeshift scuttle I heard people rave about.
Needless to say I didn't have a great lather, I should've gone with what I'm used to.

All of this to say that I did have some pulling on the 1st pass but the 2nd was better. I'm sure most of it was due to the not so slick lather but we'll see when I use something I'm more used to and get a proper lather if it was more that or/and my stropping.

For those of you that came from DEs, do you use multiple passes with a straight the same as you do with a DE? On Lynn's video he seems to not need it so much. With a DE I usually need 3 passes with some touch ups.
