So my first foray into straight edge shaving was a POS pakistani blade that more tore hair out than shaved it. So I re-tempered the blade with a blow torch and had a little success with it.... but anyway...

I figured I'd give it another go and bought an Engstrom manganese steel razor from e-bay. I was wondering if there's an easier length of hair to shave?

Is stubble easier to shave than hair 0.5 cm long, or longer? Is there an "easy" length of hair for shaving?
