What Did You Learn From Your Straight Razor Shave Today?

Don't know why this is in the Safety Razors section. I'm sure that I posted it in the Straight Razor section. The moddies must know best 🤔.

Huh? :unsure:
 
I can think of none of these snippets of sage wisdom that are not equally applicable to shaving with any kind of edge... :whistle:
 
Well, I did learn to use a straight, and for several years used a Western kamisori that I made for myself (too lazy to bother with scales) out of a chunk of damascus I had lying around. I stopped when I started shaving my head.

The less pressure, the closer the closer the shave.
Goes for all razors...DE's, SE's,...

Biggest mistake people make with "mild" razors is using too much pressure and then complaining about a mediocre shave :(
