Hey all, let me start with this site is great! Thanks for all the help. I got interested in straight shaving by looking for my grandfathers straight, Ex-wife has it "someware", anyway Iwent whole hog and spent a bunch of money on a new Dovo, superbadger brush, norton hones, strops, paste, etc. Everything I have read on this site has been of great help, I can hone the razor, strop it and when I shave with it all starts well, but after just trimming my burns and shaving my cheeks the thing seems dull already? Help! I guess this is one of those "stuck" places you all refer to.
I have no intention of giving up, although my mach 3 turbo will give me a BBS every time without all the blood letting I have been getting with the straight. Yes I do good prep with hot towels, and use Taylors soap with a little glycerin on top.
