Thanked: 0Hi From the Mid West
Hi all,
I have been DE shaving for the past several month and about a month ago I began to learn the art of straight razor shaving. What a nice challenge every morning! I have been going at it slowly by starting with the side burn, wtg, jaw line etc. I am now getting to the point that I can shave my whole face now, wtg, first pass and have noticed that stubble remains. I am having trouble figuring out how to hold razor for different grain approaches. I am gaining and I welcome any help etc. the good news is that it is feeling a lot more comfortable and I realize I am not going to slice my face all up, I can even see openings thru my hand to actually see the blade on my face, not that is improvement. I am stropping with my beginner strops but I am looking for any suggestions on what to get for my first 3" strop. My routine is to do my first pass with my straight and finish with my DE, a good combo for a beginner. thanks for having this site, I found it by watching video demos.
