Made some progress on my Shaving Data System project. Now it’s more secure and requires a login to log SOTD’s. I also fixed some functionality with SOTD picture links - if you include one it gets formatted to a markdown link, and if you don’t include one it just prints the date.
This shave went pretty well! @[email protected]’s edge felt nice and I can sense my skillz improving. Closeness still isn’t quite there, but I’m armed with the knowledge that that’ll come with time.
I’d say nothing really different than what I’ve figured out works for DE’s, except for my lower neck… DE’s give me irritation going north-to-south on my lower neck, and it seems the opposite is true with straight razors. I found out “early on” that north-to-south is better with a straight. Now that I’m 7 or 8 shaves in maybe I’ll try south-to-north again and see if my skillz allow it.

What passes are you doing for your straight shaves right now?
