Hello,

I'm pretty new to shaving with a straight, but I've already acquired 3 razors.
2 are hollow ground (not sure exactly how much, but at least half) and 1 is a near wedge.

I just can't seem to get a comfortable shave with the wedge. I know that I'm new and all, but I get a much more comfortable shave with the other 2 razors.

The wedge just doesn't seem to move as smoothly. I've tried different angles, speeds, length of strokes, but nothing seems to help. I did notice that it was a little better when I was steeper than about 30 degrees, but still now where the same.

The wedge was the razor I bought to get into this. It was an awesome antique store find. I know it's sharp because I've had it professionally honed, and I've been very careful stropping it.

I'm hoping that as I get better, I'll get the hang of it. But I'm getting pretty good shaves with my other razors and I'm wondering if wedges just aren't for me.

Has anyone else had this experience, or any advice they can give me?

Thanks!
