I have been using a straight for about a week. It arrived 'shave ready' and I strop before shaving but each shave is worse than the last as I feel the razor is tugging and skipping more each time.
Am I expecting too much in terms of sharpness? I know it will never match a DE blade in this respect but the only way to get a resonable shave is to go over the same bit again and again. I have followed stropping videos on YouTube and advice on forums so I think I am stropping ok.
Any suggestions/advice would be welcome.
