I'm a new straight razor user, about 4 months, starting after watching some Youtube videos. One major poster caught my attention and also was so helpful in showing the proper way to shave. It is getting much easier and enjoyable of having to constantly concentrate. I never realized how many have gone back to the old ways of shaving.
Welcome!! SR shaving is a nice way to slow down and enjoy some "me" time!!
Welcome.
Lots to it being something seemingly so simple. Lots of info here in the database and some knowledgeable members to help.

Welcome indeed. The gentlemen here are FIRST RATE as you will find. And Straight Razor Shaving is a wonderful endeavor. To some, it's a passion. To others, it's just a great way to get a smooth shave. To my grandfather, it was simply something that HAD to be done every other morning. To me, it's something I look forward to. Funny how a paradigm shift will change the nature of a mundane routine into a pleasurable pastime.
Enjoy the journey!

Changing the angle of the blade to your face (moving the spine closer to your skin), refreshing the lather if it seems dry or sticky, lightening your pressure, or, worst case, getting your razor touched up because it's not sharp enough.
In any case, enjoy and take it slow and easy.
