Thread: Do you get razor burn?

You won't have an "expert's touch" for quite a while if you're new to straights. I don't yet either. You may have to check your blade's sharpness as well. Razor burn is the first step on the road to good shaving, and we've all taken that step too.

I agree, sharp razor, light touch, good technique
(I use a glide with a SR, and shave my chin with the
heal of the blade, so it doesn't flex much), and prep.
