My gear arrived in the post last night.
Had my very first shave with the straight this morning.

I am not sure either the blade wasnt honed properly (it was supposed to come shave ready) or I messed up the edge stropping it or I got the angles completely wrong as the shave was quite painful. I didnt cut myself but it pulled quite badly and my face has been stinging since.

How should shaving with a straight compare to a normal gillette mach blade in terms of pulling of the beard?
