I've been shaving with a shavette for over a year now. I originally got a WD sight unseen straight from another member here on B/S/T. I shaved with it a few times but it tugged a lot and was very uncomfortable. I wasn't too sure if it was honed or not. That's when I bought a shavette. Smooth, sharp shaves there. I recently bought a new straight and I am having the same problems with tugging, comfort and effort required to cut hair. It was honed so I don't think that is the problem. Since I don't have any good experience with real straights my question is: How does a straight shave compare to a shavette shave? Is their a difference in sharpness or keenness? Does it feel different when they cut hair? Is their more effort required? Is there a difference in technique that I'm not aware of? I'm trying to get to the bottom of my problems with straights. Thanks for the help!
