Thread: Hello from Maine, could definitly use some pointers!

Hello Trent! Welcome to SRP. Straight razor shaving is an art that takes some time to get used to. Take your time and start by shaving your sideburns and cheeks WTG only and finish up w/ your current razor. To reduce the razor burn be sure not to use any pressure with the razor against your face and try to keep the angle around 30 degrees. You can practice shaving with a butter knife or popsicle stick. To practice stropping a butter knife works well here to. While only making lather when you shave saves money making it a few times a day until you get good at it may make your shaves better. Don't be afraid to take a few days off from straights to let your cuts heal. Keep us posted!

Good luck
