I love my straight razor. It takes longer to shave but it's so worth it.
Contrafibularities
Is it less irritable? I get ingrowns pretty easy, looking for better options.
I used to have a problem with ingrowns but that stopped when I finished up with a cold water rinse. Or try cold water for the whole shave
You have to take greater care but for the most part I find that I have less irritation and ingrown hair while using my razor. 1/2
Maintain it well and shave with it when you have enough time to do it carefully and it'll be a much better experience for you 2/2
The stones for honing make a big difference depending on the steel used in the blade too.
For example a coticule produces a way different edge than a thuringen or a c-nat. German razors do well on a thuri or a c-nat.
