Hi Guys,
I've done about 5 shaves with my vintage str8 now and on the good side, I haven't cut myself BUT, this morning I had a big urge to just put aside the str8 and go for my usual Eclipse Safety. I didn't but it was close..
I know the razor is sharp (it's been professionally honed and I strop after each shave), but I'm not getting a shave as close as the safety also it does drag a little, especially under the nose.
I do really want to master the str8 and will persevere - I know it's just that I need to stop being impatient and 'learn' how to get good results.
I presume everyone goes through this phase?
Encouragement needed
