Hey everyone, All my things finally got to the new house, after the big move, and finally got a chance to start with the straight again. With the move, i havent shaved much for about a week or so, and with my hair being so thick and growing so fast i have a full thick beard. My question is, " Has anyone else had an issue with not shaving for a week then once you try your fist shave, that youve had to make multiple same direction passes. I mean like 2 WTG passes?" I understand that the blade should be able to pass through without a problem the first time, but i used all my normal procedures. Hot shower while soaking the brush and bowl. Followed with a lather building, then application. Stropping while lather sets in, then re-application of lather, and finally a shave. Still had issues with a pulling and needed to make multiple passes. Am i missing a normal step? I hadnt taken to a barbers hone in a bit, but it still shaves fine without a week full beard? Any ideas for next time i decide to let it grow for a bit?
