If there is one single thing about this age old art of shaving with a straight razor it would be ‘Patience’!
It takes time, not so long for some and longer for others.
Back ‘in the day’ when a boy started to need to shave he had a father an uncle or perhaps a neighbor who would guide him! His beard was soft and sparse, yours is old and tough!
I started when I was 56, I’m now 60 and every once in awhile I’ll get a nick, but the ‘cuts’ are long gone (knock on wood).
Take your time and just stick to the cheek area. If your having problems with using your non-dominate hand stick to your dominate hand for both sides/I do and it works well for me! It just takes some imagination to make it happen and happen well!
Hang in there! IT WILL GET BETTER!!Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdin’s cave of 'stuff'.
