Hi

Just trying to sort out what I need to add or my lather to improve my Straight Razor shave
Only had about 10 full shaves so no real experience to draw from yet

After warm shower, apply hair conditioner to growth - left face wet
Brush - pre warmed soak in hot tap water during shower

Lather consists of :

Fauldings Shave Cream - about 1/2" long dollop from tube
Lloyds Shave Cream - Lavender Scent

Mixture lathers up quite well IMO, nice thick layer
After first WTG pass, feels OK

Re-apply lather and second pass XTG razor seems to not glide so easy
Some grabbing felt during this pass, stropped razor about 20 strokes
Did not seem to help much
Razor felt like it wanted to stick and grab a bit

Got a few nicks as well, nothing serious
Just got my attention focused sharper again. lol

Any thoughts or suggestions much appreciated

Cheers for now

Rick
