    Wow! Thank you guys so so very much!
    This morning I had the second best shaving experience of my life (second after a professional barber shave).
    My lather was the best yet, and after my first pass WTG it was already near perfect. I did a second pass XTG and now almost my entire face is baby smooth.
    If I feel with my finger on my chin, I can feel a little bit of stubble but it can't be seen, so it's fine for now. The rest of my face is litterally baby smooth!

    What worked for me was really, and I mean really, paying attention to the angle, as well as doing buffing strokes and learning to navigate around my chin area.
    Also "shave the lather not the beard" is a great tip!
    I did not finish up with my electric shaver.

    Finally I will say that shaving with a straight razor demands more concentration than rifle shooting and that is saying quite a lot!

    Peter,

    Congrats on the success. It only gets better and easier as you continue. However, there is that interim period where confidence and skill collide. The newly acquired confidence is challenged by the still developing skill. I had more cuts at that stage than at any other level of the learning process. So, don't be surprised if/when it happens!! Just slow down and go back to the basics and you'll be on the road to shaving bliss.

    That kinda happened on my second pass. Thing went so well on my first pass that I went ahead and cut myself on the second go.
