After about a week of using the razor I must say that I am pleased. I do have a few questions though.

The shave is still not as close as with my DE; however, with the DE I also go WTG and then ATG, with the straight I am only going WTG. I saw on one of Lynn's videos that one WTG pass is all that he does. What about the rest of you? Can I eventually get to the point where one pass (WTG) will equal what I can do with two passes (WTG & ATG) with my DE?

I'm also playing with different lather consistencies. I am using shave soap from Crabtree & Evelyn and am playing around with more and less water. I find that using a lot less water maked for a more luxurious lather but it also is drying out quicker and I found that the razor then is scraping dried lather off my face. Any one else experience this?

Anyway, it's all fun and I'm enjoying the journey
