Great advice. I plan on using the back side of my strop if I need a touchup. If that doesn't work I'm going to a .5 paste. But, before I do that I want to make sure I'm prepping my face properly.

I think when a razor pulls it can be more than just sharpness. I have a bad habit of slopping on some lather and shaving. Works with the new 10 blade disposibles, but doesn't work too well with a straight razor.
