Welcome to SRP and straight razor shaving, Mike.
Things are going well.this is my second week using a straight razor.No cuts yet.Still on probation.I usually do about 60 % of my face with the strait razor and finish up with a DE 1960's Gillete .Taking it slow and learning my face and how to keep a proper angle.Will take on my chin and hard to get areas in the next few weeks.Starting to get muscle memory and comfortable using the razor.Currently I am using a 5/8 Dovo and a Wade And Butcher Humpback wedge.
Regards ,Mike
It sounds like you're doing everything right. Knowing that there is a lengthy learning curve, and taking things one step at a time, as you're doing, is what leads to success. There are plenty of well experienced experts who are more than willing to help out on SRP, and there is much useful information available in the library.
Nice to see another Mass convert, welcome
