Thread: What's easier

With experience it is neither easier or harder to shave off longer growth, it's pretty much business as usual. For for a first time straight shave (and likely the next shave or two afterwards) I would have to say that shorter stubble may provide better results. I say that because we read here all the time that Mr X's first shave went rough because "the razor felt dull and it tugged and skipped over the whiskers"....You get the point. IMO longer whiskers will only compound those sensations as the newbs technique and stropping skills will not yet be developed.
