For about the last three weeks, I have been shaving with straight razors. I have made significant improvements in my technique as well as my honing and stropping skills. I took an old antique store razor and my Grandfather's old Koskes Kutter from sharp to shave ready and have been using them with increasingly satisfying results. I have had no burn, no irritation, and only three cuts on my chin. Now the bad news. Yesterday I wrenched my right shoulder and cannot lift it high enough to strop or shave. I do not have enough confidence in my left side to risk my strop and although I shave with both hands, I don't think I can pull off an entire shave left handed. I guess it's back to DE for a week or so.
