Thread: Still Feel Stubble

I have to agree with CJBianco on this. I always get the smoothest shaves when I use a DE. Much smoother than a straight or a cartridge razor. Some people will disagree and say they get the smoothest shave with a straight by far. Like Jimmy said, everyone's skin and whiskers are different, and therefore, the results are different.

I started getting much better shaves with my straights when I stopped worrying so much about BBS. As long as I get a nice smooth shave and have a fun/relaxing time doing it, I'm happy!

Also, I have noticed that approximately 1/2 hour after shaving, after your skin calms and tightens, the whiskers settle and what you thought was a sub par shave actually turns out to be pretty smooth.

My advice is do not obsess. Just enjoy and have fun.
