I've had a similar number with mine and really enjoying it too! I find ATG and XTG pretty straightforward, not so much ATG as I find it hard to just get the pressure/angle right to stop skipping.
2 passes for me too, none atg anymore just wtg and xtg.hellofromme said:I sometimes find that my first pass is so good that I do not always bother with a third and use the second to tidy up only. I assume it is because I have used too much pressure but rarely does the stingy rock thingy -alum- cause pain.

Hey I hear you Leslie took me a year after my Parker shavette, even thought for some time about DE. Straights do knick you at times, fact. But I feel as safe with the straight as I did with my DE razors and much safer than the shavette.Leslie145 said:jim3rg said:I am loving my kropp but is taking me some time to build confidence
Same here - after the shavette bloodbath I was more than a little nervous at taking an unguarded edge to my face. Very surprised at how forgiving a proper straight razor is.
Once I'm confident with angles, pressure etc, then (and only then) will I try XTG & see how I get on.
How do you come to this conclusion?hellofromme said:Shavettes give vastly bigger snicks than straights IMHO.
