I just got a Feather Straight razor, and I've tried shaving with it a couple of times, once with a Pro Guard blade, and once with a Pro Super blade. The Pro Guard was useless, hard to shave and left me with stubble. The Pro Super was a little better. But it is very hard to a) get a close shave, and b) not cut myself fiercely. Even on the easy to shave place like upper cheeks, I didn't really get a super close shave.
Question: How many shaves will it take to get proficient at this? I'm willing to stick with it if I think I can get somewhere reasonably soon.
Straight razor shavers, please comment. Thanks.
