Thread: Horrible Shaving Experience

Great Post Ben. RacerX, you are describing what most people go through for their first shave. I was there too not too long ago. If it was easy everyone would do it. Most good things take time to learn and using a straight is no exception. I am thinking your razor is sharp, but you just need practice to figure it out. Keep using it, go slow, be confident, and only do 1 pass at first. Touch up with your DE if you have to until you figure out each part of your face. This is a skill that has a very steep learning curve and it's very easy to get frustrated. Don't let it get to you and you will be rewarded.

Great advice from a new guy to a new guy Ben. Believe what he says Racer and don't give up. In time you will find that the best shave for your sensitive skin will be with properly used straight razor.
