Thread: shave 3...

So I bought a shavette. I am using pre shave oil, before my lather.
My first shave was smooth, but bloody. 2nd shave was better, but still bloody.
third shave I put a new blade in the shavette. only 1 little cut, but shave was not as smooth as the first one. I also noticed that the razor did not travel smoothly over my face, their was more friction than the first 2 shaves.
so here are my questions.
1. why the friction?
2. Ive read many posts here where guys are saying that the shavette is a problem, and a true straight razor helps with some of my issues. thoughts on this?

Thanks for the help!!!
