Usually people get better shaves with a progression in all of these area's. But I've found in all the reading I've been doing, that usually it's one area that had a huge effect on a person's shave.

I was just curious if you could name your one area and what you started doing differently.
Not sure exactly what changed. I came to straight shaving from DE shaving so prep is the same. I think things just gradually fell into place as far as blade angle and skin streching.

This may sound really stupid but I found it really awkward looking in the mirror with everything being backwards. It took me a while to get my bearings. Completely differant from cartridge and DE razors. Not sure why.

Now I just have to cut down on the blood. Got a nasty cut on my neck this morning and I don't know how I did it.
