Guess I needed to be slightly more specific.... ed, henry's cat, the 79 one is rather quiet and shy. ;)

Im not shy just time poor. Not all of us are fifo with nothing to do for hours every night except chat on our smart phones. :p
I coulnt even read all Ed's posts let alone all the threads he chats in. The ones that get big I leave as theres no way I have the time to keep up. That said if I had the time I would be just as bad:D
Thanks guys.
Just had my best straight shave so far. I used my father in law's 6/8 Friodur that has hardly been used. Either the edge is a bit keener than my Atoya De Luxe 5/8 or I just go the angle a bit better, but either way things felt a lot easier this morning. BBS on my neck which is a first!
Today is a good day.
Another good shave tonight - this time with the Atoya. Before my shave I gave it about 10 laps on CrOx on balsa then stropped as normal. Seemed to bring the edge up a bit better - I think it passed the HHT a bit easier. Again, I managed to easily get BBS on my neck which is normally a problem area with my straight. I have a beard, so only need to shave the tops of my cheeks and my neck. It's all good practice for when the beard comes off though.
I think I'm slowly getting the hang of using a straight.
I reckon if you had more area to shave you're skill level would improve quicker, depends how precious the beard is to you!
