    If I am reading correctly, this is the first actual straight razor you have used coming off a disposable straight razor. If this is the case, your technique will play a great deal in the comfort of your shaving. The real straight razor can be a very different animal than the disposable and the most important thing is to maintain a 30 degree or less angle when you are shaving. This means that vertical is very important. You can get away with more angle on the disposable blades than you can with the straight. I would go back to the beginning and just do sideburn to jaw with your dominant hand for a few days.

    Have fun,

    Yes this is the 1st straight I have owned. Thanks i will try that. Cause right now that is about as much as I can tolerate. Seeing as it feels like it is scraping and ripping my face.
