Are you DE shaving or straight shaving. About the odd curve of having no teeth, ask the man to puff out his lips, show him so he knows, and tell him to breath through his nose. Also pre-shave prep. Is he fresh showered, hot toweled, pre-shave oil if you prefere. Lather, is there enough glide, this can be a big factor. Also the direction you are travling with the razor; With the grain {WTG} cross the grain {XTG} against the grain {ATG}, those passes are important. If you are unsure of any of this, read the wiki, all this will be covered. Also Lynn Abrams video dvd is a must. How long have you been shaving with a straight? These are all important issues when straight shaving. Good luck and welcome to the Straight Razor Place. STRAIGHT RAZOR 13
