I have been shaving or at least trying my best to shave with a straight for about 8 months or so. I started with a Boker and restored it and honed it myself and was getting it to shave. The problem was that it was not as smooth of a shave as a double edge that I found and restored from a flea market. i have recently purchased a shave ready razor from classicedge.ca and find that it still feels like it is pulling. My question is, does it matter how long your facial hair is when you shave? Should I expect a smoother shave from short stubble meaning I would shave every other day or should I be able to get the same feeling shave regardless of hair length?

Thanks
Jeff
