Another tip... I use this when I get razor burn to help heal it faster. I wait a day between shaves, and each day put some on before I leave for work and also as I'm getting into bed at night. Works like a charm. Combined with my Nivea aftershave balm, it can't be beat.

I bought an entry level sandalwood soap, ordered some Tabac which arrived today, will give it a try tomorrow. Originally Posted by Leatherstockiings

Nah, seriously though, how did everything go with the Tabac? I'm actually curious to try some myself..."Willpower and Dedication are good words," Roland remarked, "There's a bad one, though, that means the same thing. That one is Obsession." -Roland Deschain of Gilead

The Tabac is working better than my previous soap, lathers nicely, shaves are smoother, skin feels better. I attribute better shaves to more experience as time goes on. The last couple of days I've also added some Thayers aftershave along with some Nivia aftershave. I especially like the Tabac, see no reason to look any further for shaving soap. Further encouragement is coming from both my razors, seems my stropping has not ruined them up to this point. I've received great service from SRD supplying me with all the goodies.

Glad to hear it!!
You are definitely correct that experience is another variable to eliminate when experiencing poor shaves... I know every time I shaved at first I became more aware of pressure, and eventually did some hair growth mapping to find what was truly with and against the grain. Also, since everyone is a bit different, I've started learning more and better ways to stretch my skin to avoid irritation and get a closer, smoother shave as well.
Just keep on keepin' on... sounds like you're doing fine!

+1 for Thayer's and Nivea. Had bad razor burn when I started DE shaving, mostly technique and skin getting used to something other than a multiblade cartridge. Same is likely the case with a straight I would believe. Looks like your life is getting better.
