In my first month with a straight razor I've shaved every day and seen great improvements. I'm able to get very consistent shaves that are almost to the BBS level that I can get with three passes with my DE, and without any nicks. I'm quite comfortable doing a close pass WTG, a good XTG (ear to nose direction), and doing touchups around the chin to get very close. I've had some luck going ATG on my upper neck, but the razor always seems to stick at that point. Maybe this is just how ATG works, but I haven't been able to find any way to get that slippery feel going ATG. I've experimented with angles, lather, and grips, but I'm still not quite there.

Any good advice on getting a comfortable, slippery ATG pass? Maybe just more practice...
