Barber said I have the thickest beard he has ever shaved...
So i go get my first straight razor shave from a barber because I wanted to see what I was getting into here. He was using personna disposable blades. I told him I had a pretty thick beard to start with. He said I'm sure it'll be fine. The first pass down the cheek he said wow you weren't kidding. Long story short, the shave was patchy and not very close. It was pretty uncomfortable and the barber had to switch to a new blade just to finish. At the end he said the only other guy I have shaved with a thicker beard wouldn't let me finish because it hurt to bad.
So I have recently gotten my razor back from being honed by Sham over at razor and stone. He did a good job but I'm not sure it's worth continuing to try. The barber did pretty good prep from what I could tell. But I am just not sure if the straight razor thing is gonna work. Any thoughts?

I am pretty sure the other headshaver people would agree with that assessment.

My barber shaves my head once a week with his shavette. I get better shaves with it than I did with a cart back in the day.
I've got a beard of steel on my face, and shave it with my straight, no problem. My head dulls it incredibly.

Are you able to sand furniture with your beard??

This!
Or should have recognized that you were some freak of nature that sprouts strands of Kevlar rather than facial hair after the first stroke. At that point, he should have stopped and apologized for being unable to help you...then hold the door for you as you leave without being charged....but only after taking a photo of your beard and framing it for the wall.
