Here, in this page, we are standing at a level where we call "shaving nirvana". At this level, shaving is more like a type of meditation or a hobby rather than only shaving. You can consider this like building model crafts or meditating with the sunrise in the morning...
Using a straight razor is a detailed, sensitive and experience demanding issue. You should give it enough time and accept little progress in each shave throughout the first 100 shaves. Straight razors are not meant to be as sharp as razor blades. They therefore give a strong, robust and irritation-free cut. If you give enough attention and patience, you will be rewarded with wonderfully close and pleasurable shaves. You should of course take care of your straight razor very well, strop it before and after each shave, protect it from moisture and most importantly from curious hands.
May your shaving pleasure ever last!
