Just wanted to gauge opinions on what may have gone wrong really. Duff blade? Duff lather? Forgetting the angle to hold the razor? Would dialling the razor up require a slightly different angle?
Hi there,
Looks to me like you changed three things....the adjustment, the blade, and the soap that you haven't used all that often.
If I had to guess the problem, I'd say it was the lather or the blade....or maybe both if you're real lucky.....heh.
How's that,
Martin
Blades said:try for 3 passes..
1st..WTG..downwards
2nd..XTG..right to left and left to right sides of your face
3rd..ATG..upwards
you can also lightly go vertically as well which helps if some hairs grow in different directions
Good Luck!
Blades

Yellow Jim said:Blades said:I only see it as changing one thing really and that's the soap, I dialled the Slim back down to 4 after the first two unsuccessful passes and that's what I normally use.
The lather seemed very good, a nice thick and slick lather, not dissimilar to what I produce with other soaps and creams. Could the lather have that much effect on the closeness of a shave?

Dial up. Try a 2 pass WTG shave on settings 4 then 6 or 5 then 7 and see if that improves things.
Cella can be slick but thick.
dodgy said:Hiya, I can tell you the lather can make a difference in how close my shaves are. Sometimes there's too much cushion, which keeps the blade from reaching my face properly. It's frustrating because I have to go over the same spots more often.
One way I can tell sometimes about cushion is by the sound. If it's more muffled than usual, that's a good sign something's up. Same thing if the shave is too loud........it means the cushion can be lacking.
