![]() 2.) Finding a barber that is capable of giving a good straight shave is getting to be very difficult these days, even in areas where they still offer them. It is probably a necessary effect of the fact that the barber can't feel your comfort level. 1.) A barber straight shave is often described as not as comfortable as doing it yourself. Disclaimer out of the way, you are not likely to get answers by going to a barber, with or without your razor. So what I have to say is only repeating what I've read elsewhere (here even) from other people's experiences. Barbers in these parts don't do shaves anymore. Getting a half DE holder is a cheap way to make sure you have a good edge to start with. It may be that your beard grows in quick enough that when you shave after one day is equivalent to two days for me, I don't know. I occasionally still find it tugging slightly on the first pass if I haven't shaved for a day or two, but not on any subsequent passes. Stretching the skin seems to make the hairs stand up more, which makes it easier to cut them. For my chin, I put my non-razor hand on my throat right up under my chin and pull straight down while holding my lower lip up as high as I can manage (usually sucking in my lip over my teeth as it happens). You might try changing directions to something you haven't tried yet, make the angle shallower (closer to flat against your skin), and you might want to try making shorter strokes. If it still tugs then, there is something not jibing with your technique. The way you hold the razor and the angles you use are the same as with a normal straight, and when you are using half of a DE razor, you know you have a keen edge. ![]() One way to see if your technique is to blame is to get a shavette type razor holder and try it with that. They tell you to start with shaving your cheeks and sideburn area first because it really is a ton easier than other areas, and the chin is the hardest area bar none. You probably won't feel like you are really good at it until you've been doing it for close to a year. A month, unfortunately, isn't that much experience in the scope of learning the technique for straight shaving. I think the primary change is from having a better edge and having a lot more experience. I don't tend to get that problem now so much.
