Hello Fellas,

I've been shaving with a brush and DE of an on for a couple years now and decided to purchase a Feather Straight. I chose this to learn on to avoid other variables like honing & stroping. I picked up a used shave ready straight last year but just couldn't get the hang of it and gave up kinda quick.

All history aside, I determined to get the hang of this thing. My main problem so far is handling the razor. I just can't seem to keep the razor flush to my skin at a decent angle. This was one of my major problems with my first straight. I found the blade length was ackward, another reason why I chose the Feather was the shorter length of the blade.

I'm right handed and don't have much of a problem with the right side of my face, it's th left that I find difficult and ackward. Should I be switching hands? Any tips would be great!

Look forward to discussions!
