Two straight razor shaves in. Second slightly better than the first, but yikes, I look like I had a fight with a really pissed off cat. Please tell me this will get better. I certainly feel like I am getting a handle on the technique, but I look pretty silly right now. On the upside, although cut, I don't have the normal neck irritation that led me to this in the first place.

Using Castle Forbes pre-shave, cream, and after shave. Am thinking about adding an AOS soap into the process to make the lather more slick in the likely mistaken assumption that it will help my poor technique. Thoughts and advice welcomed.
