So I started using a straight razor (Dovo Bismarck) about a month and a half ago (on and off). I used the shavette before and got excellent result so I know how to use one when shaving. However, whenever I go across or against the grain my razor pulls and drags like hell. I purchased the Norton 4k/8k and a Belgian stone to help sharpen and smooth the edge, but I'm only getting slightly better results. I'm considering selling off my stuff because I just can't get a good shave with the straight. Any suggestions/advice you guys can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
