My shaves with a straight have been getting better and better. I've been sticking with the grain. Tonight I decided to do a second pass across the grain. That made the shave significantly smoother than just with the grain.

I also started shaving my head with the straight. I was inspired by another guy in the forum that loaded a video of him shaving his head with a straight. It's almost unbearable now to try to shave 4 days of growth with a mach 3 constantly clogging the blades with hair when I know I can just mow it down with a straight.

I'm slowly getting more and more hooked on straight razor shaving.

Quick question. Do you guys shave the right side of your face with your right hand and the left side with your left hand? Or do you sometimes switch it up and do the left side of your face with your right hand and vice versa?
