Perhaps your right Leslie, I can't honestly say I'm using more or less pressure than with my DE, probably slightly more with the straight. I assumed it was down to the fact of not having a safety bar, perhaps allowing the blade to run flat atg on the skin. But I could be wrong how are you enjoying your straight shaves otherwise?Leslie145 said:Nishy said:I couldn't go atg at all face and neck with my DE, even tried razor/blade combo but made no difference.

Maybe because (no disrespect) you (like me) are relatively new to straight shaving so that much more careful about pressure.
Personally, I always re-lather before going ATG whichever style of razor I'm using...

New blade - shave with the grain
3rd and subsequent shaves - shave against the grain
One pass.
Jobbed.

Oy gevalt!!!
I swear that knowing your sense of humor would make me think you were being facetious when describing your shaving technique, but I don't think that's the case here. No, I saw you type this a bunch of times over the years and it's a true thing I believe.
That is a somewhat.....unorthodox way of doing things. The one ATG pass shave I mean. Well, both ways actually. I can't think of anyone else doing that when using a cartridge, injector, or DE razor. It obviously works for you though.
I'm still not quite positive you aren't just messin with me....heh. I know how much you like typing stuff to get a rise outta people. That's on the plus side in my opinion.
