First shave with a real straight today
It wasn't awful. It could DEFINATELY be closer but I'll worry about that when I'm more comfortable using the razor. It's a tiny razor though. Not heavy at all. Here's where I need help; the chin and mustache area. No matter how I stretched or angle of the blade, the razor wouldn't glide smoothly. I saved those areas for last and eventually had to employ a north sound technique to get any kind of shave. Any pointers? And can anybody point me to maybe a heavier razor? I only paid $30 for that one and I think it's a 5/8 hollow. Is that a typical razor? Dang, I have alot of questions now after my first shave. I just bought a razor from ebay I'm hoping to restore because that sort of thing sounds fun to me. But maybe I should've purchased a wider heavier one??? Thanks!!!
