For introduction purposes, I have been using a DE for awhile now and have recently switched over to a straight razor in the last couple of months. I am very pleased and have had very successful results and am now fully straight shaving without issue.

My question is---when does your shave feel closest?

My face seems to feel the best about 30min-1hr after shaving. That is when the shave feels the closest and most comfortable. I don't have issue with irritation just seems to be smoother about a half hour later.
