I've only used mine the once but it went without hitch. Going from Straight Razors to this SE, with the advice of @Kypros Christodoulides, I approached with a nice shallow angle, in a similar fashion you would with a SR.I've got into using my Claymore SE now, part of me enjoys it more than my DE, but it is very aggressive. My plan it to go to a milder blade soon.
Anyway, when I shave, I go with the grain for a first pass, and then touch up, often against the grain, on a second pass. Most of the second pass goes well, but when I go up under the chin, the razor seems to bounce, pulling and generally not being pleasant. I'm not sure if this is just going against gravity, or if there's something wrong in my technique.
I'm using a good lather from Porasso, and the blades are Feather Pros, so I don't think it's them, it's probably me holding the razor wrong or something of the sort. But I don't have the issue with my DE, and I don't really want to start applying pressure!
Has anyone else had this? Anyone got advice to stop it?
From what I've heard, people seem to advise using the Kia Titan Mild rather than the feather. Unfrotunatly, I didn't know that and ordered some feathers, which are just a bit too aggressive, which is putting me off making the Claymore my go-to.Ive just orderd the claymore head ive some feather pro and some kia titan mild to try.
Hope it works ok im not to bad dont mind an aggressive razor may try and balance it with a light but chunky handle if i can find one.sammy.
I'd like to say that once you put your fear to one side it all becomes easier. I went in open-minded, not knowing quite how aggressive it would be and aside from a couple of very minor weepers it was all good in the hood!I had a go this morning and it went well enough. Though it does seem to take more care than anything else I've done... Soldering 0.5x1mm devices is easy, shaving with a Claymore and a feather blade, is tricky!
WHAT HE SAID.See how light a touch you can go with the Feather Professional - they're a very, very efficient blade and as a result don't require any pressure. The Kai Pinks are definitely a good blade, however. I've used the Claymore with a Feather and that made for a cracking shave.
