I am new to SR saving but not new to wet shaving with a DE. My beard is steel wire and I have done 3 sr shaves. I am still learning technique and was wondering - how much resistance is correct? I am judging my razor pressure and shaving stroke against my DE shaves. I find that with the SR as I try to let the blade weight and sharpness do the work, I get a lot of resistance as compared to my DE. The rasping noise is the same but the ease of stroke is not. With the DE shave I guide the weight of the razor. With the SR I must add pressure and each stroke is short. I have the same resistance with two different razors. The heavier razor is easier to make the stroke. One of the razors was prepared by Lynn - so I know it is sharp. Both razors easily remove hair and shave a spot on my forearm with very little effort. I looking for guidence for the SR stroke. Thanks
