Thanked: 0My first shave with My Wapi
So I just finished my first straight shave with a 5/8 Wapi I got from GreatWhitehuntr. I managed to do an OK job on my right side and a weak job on the left...not surprising since I'm right handed. I stropped just like everyone said to do on the instructional videos (keep the strop taut and the razor loose), and pre-oiled with Olive Oil and used coffee grounds.
How hard should I be pushing on the razor? The shave I got was similar to a Mach 3, so am I just not being aggressive enough? And how do I practice with the Left handed grip?
It's definitely something I'll have to learn as I shave more and more.
