I am currently using a straight razor only on the weekends. I do not have the time to attempt to save daily with a straight at this point in the learning curve. I find I do much better with a straight razor when I take my time and do the pre-shave steps with a hot towel etc.
When I do get to use a straight I take my time and try for the BBS. I will do three passes plus touch up.With a sharp blade I will get an acceptable shave with two passes. But I enjoy the shave and will tend to do three or four passes plus touch up as I try and learn beard direction and technique.
If you count passes, I will get around 15 or so passes with a shave ready razor.
I have had several razors profesionally honed. I seem to dull a razor regardless of who honed it.
Thank you for your help.
