Thanked: 270It took me two years to master the straight razor. In my third year, I was much better than in my second.
It doesn't take most people that long to learn but it makes a point of what you're experiencing. You may be going through the motions correctly, but the repetition is necessary.
The best advice I can give you is what I did, which is keep on shaving. Whether you settle on a shavette or a true straight, it's a matter of practice. You are going to get it and when you do, you will realize that you could only be taught to a certain point. The rest is learned.
This video helped me the most. I watched it literally hundreds of times, and found little things every once in a while I hadn't seen before. It also motivated me to keep going and reap my reward. It meant that much to me to get this thing mastered.
Here's the video:
You'll get it! The journey is what has made it so special for me!Last edited by CaliforniaCajun; 12-22-2013 at 01:01 AM.
