Hi All...
I am still learning my straight razor. Its not something I do every day... More like once every week or two. The rest of the time is spent with traditional wet shaving using a DE razor.
In my learning, one thing I have found that's VERY useful... I shave with my DE razor (usually a double pass) and then break out my straight. I have found it useful in learning angles and how to hold the razor. Most of my whiskers have already been removed so i can focus on HOW to shave rather than shaving perfection.
Anyone else learn this way or try this?
It may be helpful to other newbies... or not... YMMV!
