First straight razor shave. absolutely horrible what am I doing wrong?
Hey guys,
So i've been wanting to try and prevent razor bumps and acne on my jawline, plus get a decent shave for the first time in my life since i started shaving. I came on here and purchased a dovo bismarck. It arrived yesterday and tried it out today after a shower. I even used some baby oil to try and lube up my face good. Well the razor was just tugging on hairs. It was so painful it felt like every hair was being pulled out and to top it off it didn't even look like i had shaved!
After an hour i went back to my disposable and my face is 10x smoother. What did I do wrong? I have a very thick beard but i was told by so many people a straight razor could get me a decent shave.
Please help.

Are you, by chance, using canned shaving creme?

It doesnt appear you are doing something wrong with your stroke. My best guess it you damaged the edge stropping.
