Gentlemen,

I am obviously new to straight razor shaving and although most of it is going very well for me, I simply cannot shave my upper lip without slicing it to pieces. I've tried holding my nose out of the way, more lather, funny faces, watched video on youtube, etc.. But, I end up slicing myself or shaving nothing off at all. (I'm using a new, very sharp razor btw..) If there is anyone with any tips out there, I'd really appreciate it!!

Mahalo!
