Was used to a shavette so it’s not been too bad. Last week I used it to trim and tidy my beard. Today I decided to go clean shaven. A couple of tiny nicks and one patch where I kept trying to use the not so sharp side of the blade and just exfoliated skin but didn’t remove hair until I flipped the razor over.
I had forgotten how immediately after the shave it can feel like almost medium grade sandpaper but after an hour or so suddenly face feels totally smooth and clean.

I use a flexible strop, which I hook into the towel rail and hold taut with my left hand.
TBH, when I first started shaving with a straight, I was a lot more bothered about stropping technique than I am now.
Just strop the thing and shave with it, is my view now. 20 to 30 strokes before and after use.
How are you getting on with the actual shaving technique? OK with your non-dominant hand?
Enjoying it?
