I find the end of that document very interesting, the part that says:

". . . plenty of water, to soften the beard, and lots of wet lather rubbed into the skin are of far more importance than the quality of the razor."

I only started shaving with a straight last Saturday. I'm still not very good at it, and this morning I decided to take a break and use the old Mach 3. But I still did the same prep I do for a straight shave, and got the best shave I've ever had. I'm looking forward to being able to get a shave that nice from the straight, but it goes to show the importance of proper prep.
