So, I'm on vacation in Maui and I brought two of my razors so I can alternate. I had my fourth shave and it just keeps getting better. My room has a sweet shaving mirror that is concave in addition to being wall mounted on a long swivel arm so I can pull it close and move it for better angles. Waay better than trying to lean over my bathroom counter at home. Also, I don't think the jacuzzi and hot towel on my face I relaxed with hurt much either. I think though, the mirror helped the most so I could see what I was doing clearly. So to all out there, I'd be curious to hear some other little things not previously mentioned that make your shave easier, smoother, and in general increase the pleasurableness of a nice straight razor shave? (skin stretching, lather, proper angle and a light touch we've heard a lot about)
