So ended up going 4-5 days before a shave (long story). Cheeks, neck went fine. But when I got to my chin it was like I was trying to cut down trees. I would start and the razor didn't move. I didn't want to force it so I just stopped. Relathered and tried again, same thing.

Is there some trick to shaving longer hair? The chin has been (and still is) a tricky spot that I have yet to shave it successfully but this seemed very odd to me. More so for the fact that shaving my chin with a Gillette Fusion was very easy. Interestingly enough I got a surprisingly good shave (on the chin) from the Fusion using my SRD soap. Anyone have an explanation as to why shaving the chin is so much simpler with a Fusion than a straight? I find it hard to believe that it is sharper than a straight (even my straight). It's not a new cartridge.

Thanks,
Adrian.
