    A good way to improve your straight technique is to use a straight for a touch up after shaving with a straight

    When I started SR shaving, I followed Lynn's advice and just worked on certain parts of my face, adding others as time went on until I was shaving my entire face. During that period I used my (get ready to gasp everyone) Gillette Fusion to clean up the rest of my face.
    Once I was shaving my entire face, I packed up the Fusion and have yet to use it. Being military, I can't have a 'substandard' shave. Plenty of pressure/motivation.
    There have been a few mornings where I stared at the Fusion thinking, "Just this once..." but resisted every time.
    Now if I'm pressed for time, I just let it go with a WTG pass.
    With my self-imposed 'rules' I think I've learned solid technique rapidly.
    There comes a day when you say, "I'm using the SR, and that's all I'm going to use"...no fall-back position, no "Net" so to speak.
    Badgister and OCDshaver like this.
