After shaving for a while with DE razors, I'm ready to step it up to straights. I have a couple different razors on their way purchased from B&B members. I've read many of the various newbie questions regarding shaving with straights but still have a question I didn't find an answer to. When shaving with DE razors I always got a better shave when my beard was a little longer. For me that's 3-4 days growth. My question is would that hold true with straights? Is there an advantage to a longer or shorter beard when starting out for the first time with a straight razor? I will be doing all the recommended pre-shave prep but want to give myself every advantage for a good straight razor shave experience and not end up looking like scarface.
Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom.
