Welcom Marius,

Also, keep in mind that it takes practice to shave with a straight razor. Just because the blade is sharp doesn't mean your body knows how to shave with it. You have to get the angle right and a certain confidence in the stroke makes all the difference. Practice slowly and your strokes will improve. Also be careful stropping the blade. Many of us have ruined a sharp edge with poor stropping.

Straights are rarely, if ever as sharp as a machine sharpened blade like a feather. Be patient and enjoy
