Thread: Seriously thinking about giving up straight razor shaving.

I respectfully submit that you have already given up straight shaving at least for the time being and if you're happy with that, then that's fine.

Hold on to those razors though because it's likely that the bug will bite again when you have the time/focus/money/etc. to commit to learning how to get a great straight shave. When you're ready to give it a go again, we will still be here.

Well, after much thought I have decided to give straight razor shaving another go. Holli4pirating is going to touch up a razor, and I am going to give it another shot!

Good for you mate! If at first you don't succeed...

Hello, BUYTexan:

Now that you have decided to give it one more try, remember that straight razor shaving is a slow process and is best mastered methodically. The straight razor does not take kindly to being pushed. The more you push the worst it gets. So take a step back and let your skill develop naturally. Forget the great shaves in the beginning. Rather, enjoy the learning process, because all the great shaves lie ahead. Good luck.

Regards,

Obie

Good decision. We'd hate to lose you.

Glad to hear it BYUTexan. Patience is your friend.
