Hi All,
I tried my first DE shave last night and it hasn't gone too well. I've got a load of shaving rash on my neck, which cut up pretty bad (not nicks, just taking the top skin off hair bumps) Also, it's nowhere near as close as my cartridge (Fusion).
I wasn't expecting perfection first time out, but this is sore today.
Here's the process I went through:
Showered and washed face with facial scrub (in shower for 10 mins). Soaking brush whilst this was going on.
Made a lather in a bowl using Bluebeards Luxury Shaving cream. Applied to face.
Shaved using an Edwards Jagger DE 89 with Derby extra blades. 1st pass N-S, 2nd pass Ears to Mouth...I couldn't manage a 3rd pass as my neck was in a bad way.
I'm pretty gutted as I've been really looking forward to DE shaving and have done plenty of forum reading and video watching (youtube geofatboy)
Can anyone spot a glaring mistake, or is it purely bad technique?
Cheers....
Mabbsy.
