I went in after 3 days of very obvious beard growth with my str8 with my shave scuttle with hot sink water/clean rag/plenty of shave cream/well strop'd 7/8 Sheffield blasé thb got started..after 3 passes (working on getting around my Adams apple cactus hairs I walked out of the bathroom and asked my wife how long I was in the bathroom and she said about AN HOUR!!..man I was hungry! (hypoglycemia)..man my focus was gone afterwards but a little closer and still used my SE to get around my Adams apple cactus hairs and lightly at my chin area..ok..I'm done yapping ;-p. Anyone else end up trying to shave closer and realizing it's been an hour?..my previous shaves were 30min or so and I'm about a month into str8 shaving
