Hi there. I just recently received a straight razor and setup. This weekend was my first shave with it. I have a beard that I keep short and shaped so the shave was of my cheeks, around my chin and my neck line. I'm proud to say I didn't get any nicks or cuts, didn't have excessive razor burn, and I was acceptably close for 1 pass. But...it took me nearly 30 mins and I had to re lather several times.
Just curious how long it took you guys for your first shave? I knew it would be longer than the 5 mins I need for my DE, but I didn't expect this long, especially with a decent bit of my face left out due to the beard.
Thanks for all the help too!
