Way more difficult than expected, practice, practice & more practice.That pretty much summed up my 1sr SR shave. I was told it takes dozens & dozens of goes before you get the hang of it. I'm sure you'll get the knack, I may try a SR again in the future. At least you know the razor is top notch.
Out of sheer curiosity, how long does the SR ritual take, from pre-shave strop to post-shave strop, and fiddling in-between?Aye..Modernity is All About Watered Down Crash Courses on This & That & Certificates for Instant Gratification..SR Shaving is NOT for Instant Gratification Seeking Puppies..You Will Get Rewarded with Putting in the Time..Just Like a Good Woman SR Shaving is a Treat to Behold..

Aye..You Need to Strop it for Sure..There are Many Ways..My Way that Works for Me..40 Sets After a Shave..60 Sets Before a Shave..2nd shave, waaay better.
Managed 2-passes & no DE needed.
A patchy, not bad shave.
I'd say on a par with my first DE efforts.
Waiting for my strop to turn up before my next attempt.
I Can Do an Out the Door One Pass Interview Shave in 10 Min or So..

Guru..Na..Not Me..I Cant Shave My Head with an SR..Woudnt Even Go there..Leave that Up to the "Real" Guru..Aye but your a fucking guru lol.
Ive used the one I got from you a good few times now (I'm a head shaver and beard grower) and there's still parts I can't even get to. I generally do top, back and my right side. After that I gotta do the rest with my de. Getting better. Only use it on my days off as I need about an hour start to finish. With my de I do a full head shave including shower and prep in about 20 mins
I just had my first shave with it last night that was ok enough that I never had to crack out the old Faithfull 34c. Not perfect but passable. Hour and a half though [emoji14]Guru..Na..Not Me..I Cant Shave My Head with an SR..Woudnt Even Go there..Leave that Up to the "Real" Guru..

Yea, it does makes sense.Good stuff man. Your not the only one on this journey. I'm still very new to straights and I have a big beard so it's all head and mostly areas that can't be seen. I'm in the deep end and ding everything by touch and feel. Think it's forcing me to improve at a faster rate as eyes on is a distraction to learning the feel. If that makes sense.
