It's been a fun learning experience. I did one open-blade shave about 2 years ago, and I was surprised that even with just that single experience I didn't have much trouble deciding how to hold the razor.

A lot of things from DE shaving are still very relevant to straight razor shaving.

  1. Angle
  2. Pressure
  3. Knowing your direction of growth
  4. Knowing your sensitive areas
  5. Etc.
