When I first started shaving with a straight I would shave every other day (my skin couldnt handle every day, and I get such close shaves there is really nothing there the next day)

Now that I am into 8/8 henckels, for the last two shaves I have waited 8 - 10 days in between shaves just so I can see the 8/8 go through my growth like its cutting through butter....then I like to wipe it on my wite shaving towels and look at the mound of hair it just took off with one stroke...is this a new illness or do others suffer from this affliction???
