Thread: 3 shaves down, questions

Did you read through Larry's shaving manual? He wrote a pretty good beginners guide to straight shaving that gives you realistic expectations of your first few straight shaves. In a few weeks you will want to start adding in some ATG strokes, this will give you the close shave everyone is talking about. Don't forget to stretch your skin and very slowly start incorporating a slicing motion into your strokes, it is easier to slice than push cut. You can trust that Larry honed it right, but if you really feel there is a problem with your razor he will make it right. Good luck and be patient, you'll get the hang of it.
