Thread: Poor results of straight shaving - very disappointed

If it's really that important to you, then keep doing it. One tip is to pull the skin that you are doing taut. Then, slowly and cautiously shave it. If you persevere, you will become good at it. It takes alot of patience. As a barber, I like to keep the face hot with hot towels and steam. It seems not to tug as much that way. Good luck.

I've been shaving with only straight razors for a couple of years now, and I'm still learning. I'm sure the guys who've been doing it for years more are still learning. Keep the "faith" and endure.
