Hey everyone,
I have been shaving with a straight razor for about a year now and something has been bothering me.

When I shave with a "store razor" (big name brand) I tend to get a very close shave.
Maaaaybe it is because I go over the same areas several times in different directions.

When I use a straight razor - I seem to have places where I have "stubble" is the only word I can come up with.

What am I doing wrong?

Maybe not going in the right direction?
Maybe being scared of killing myself with this sharp blade in those areas?
Maybe my razor is not stropped right?

I have no clue.

Anyone else have this happen and figured it out?

Thanks,

Jamie
