You'll learn...... but you dont have to be a shaving junkie like some of us......I go through phases (just been through a big on). At the beginning, the advice given previously is great. If however you get the bug..... you have been warned. On a serious note look at the results and keep the pressure light. Think about an alum block, it did wonders for me. They last ages if you dont drop them. Good luck!One tub???? Wise, possibly. Sustainable on here? Definitely not....
Depending on where you based we may be able to get you some sample blades sent through. Dm me if your interestedYep, fatip classic grande nero, omega boar brush and a tub of goodfellas soap.
Seem wise?
Lol, I hope so, already have mountain bikes funneling the cash out, hopefully this doesn't become an obsessioni hope you find your combo quick before it empties your wallet lol
Good advice thanks, I've watched a few videos mentioning angle but never phrased like that. cheers!Put more of the cap on your face and less comb so the blade cuts instead of scraping the hair off.
What on earth is this?Think about an alum block
Very kind, DM inbound!Depending on where you based we may be able to get you some sample blades sent through. Dm me if your interested
Sorry an alum block is a small block that (guys, correct me if I'm wrong) is an astringent which soothes the skin after shaving. Sorry should have explained it. We all started somewhere.Lol, I hope so, already have mountain bikes funneling the cash out, hopefully this doesn't become an obsession

Blown away by the friendly response here guys
I've got an early Piccolo, completely unmarked, and the alignment is amazingly good without doing anything, but the quality can be hit and miss apparently. Still one of my favorite razors, great shaver!Pay attention to the razor angle and the amount of pressure you're applying and it shouldn't take long to develop a feel for it.
Did you check the blade alignment? The edge should be parallel with the cap on both sides.
With my own Fatip Piccolo the blade can be pushed out more on one side than the other so I can set it up with a mild side and a more aggressive side if I want.
I've never owned or used one, but many do.

Alum blocks are made of natural potassium alum, a material found on rocks in areas of weather and oxidation which has antiseptic and astringent qualities. Alum blocks are used by many for healing minor nicks and cuts from shaving. Another popular use is as an aftershave treatment. It can help fight razor burn, improve skin tone, prevent ache, and kill germs.[1] Alum blocks are typically small, rock like blocks which look clear to milky. They can last for up to two years, even with daily use.
Good razor and brush but I am not familiar with the soap. I like Cella soap but Proraso Sandalwood is good too. Good technique will sort out the razor burn, just let the blade do the work and don't force it.Yep, fatip classic grande nero, omega boar brush and a tub of goodfellas soap.
