So yesterdays shave was the first one on a straight. I shaved 5 o'clock shadow which I think is pretty significant growth compared to some folk. I guess that brings up the first question: Is it easier to shave a long beard or a short one?
Second, I had some "chatter" problems. I use Cella so I'm pretty sure the lather was good. Is this a matter of being "too light"? I tried very had to come in at a low angle and that seemed to help but not always. I may try some olive oil next time. I am also a "before shower shaver" which I get is not as good for having a softer beard but it works for me (or did with DE anyway).
And lastly, I watched some videos last night and in all of them the person wiped the blade in between passes - I ran mine under the faucet. Does that even matter?
