Best length of hair to practice on
Hi all,
Probably a ridiculous question, but what do you reckon is the best length of beard hair to have your first open razor shaves on? Is it best to do it with just a little growth so it's easier to get used to the razor or would you learn more about the correct angle to use if you grew it a bit longer?
Or maybe it doesn't matter and I'm overthinking things. Lol!
Cheers guys

At least for me, once you become proficient with the straight, you'll only need to shave every couple of days.
That's the amazing thing and the drawback. The shaves are so good you don't have to shave as often, BUT the shaves are so good that you want to shave more.
I'm in the two days growth camp here btw, that's ideal for me, you can see such a difference between the before and after and the hair is not so long that there's any pulling.
