Thread: beginner frustrations mounting quickly!

Thank you Chris, I will not be home till late tonight.

It sounds like you have all the right reasons for switching to a straight, and the ambition to go with it. The consensus seems to be that you have purchased substandard gear. Although it's disappointing, I'm sure with a better razor you will get results you can be proud of. Don't let it leave a bad taste in your mouth, lots of people here can help you get set up for a good shave.

I feel your pain. They got me too. Bright side is we found this place and the folks here are First Cabin. I'm well on my way now with the top shelf mentoring here. What was really neat was when I finally got a real razor that was properly honed I found that my technique was not that bad and that I had learned a little with my wanna be SRO.
