A feather will be fine, just no pressure on the razor and no sudden movement's and you will be fine mate.So thought I'd just put a wee post up regarding progress.
I have been D.E shaving for around 6 months and joined up here in last week or so.
I have been using a shit set up from amazon since is started (around 30 quid for razor, brush and soap etc).
For the past 2 months I've been using prorasso red and astra blades but decided to buy myself a 34c a few days ago. All I can say is fucking WOW. What a difference. When I get the chance (hope fully soon, if finances allow) I'm going to upgrade by brush. It sheds way too much.
I've had 2 shaves out of my new 34c with my normal blade (astra sp) and although it's very different from the razor I normally use, it's way better. I usually only have 2 then change the blade, thanks to @Digimonkey my next shave is going to be with a feather. I hardly ever get weepers so I feel confident enough to try one.
Here's a pic of my bad ass shiny napper
Yea when I first started I used to cut myself a fair bit, when I got used to it and my prep got better then it pretty much stopped. Very rarely get razor rash and maybe 1 in 5 times I get a weeper on one particular part where I have an old "battle scar" and is usually when I'm in a rush to go out for a pint lolA feather will be fine, just no pressure on the razor and no sudden movement's and you will be fine mate.
The old noggin is looking good though so you've been doing ok.P.
*update*
Had my first shave tonight wit a feather.
@Reevers have you tried em on your noggin and if so what do u think?
I feel as if they just don't have the muscle, sharp enough without a doubt but maybe too flimsy?
Don't get me wrong, I had a fantastic shave but feel like I had to do a lot of passes/touch ups.
I also had a blast of making some aftershave balm.
Ingredients I used were shea butter, witch hazel, almond oil, a touch of jojoba, some cederwood, some tea tree, tiny amount of bees wax and forgive me I added a healthy dash of old spice. It's nice although a little bit too greasy.
Generic ones that I first got that were pish and I've been using astra sp's. @Digimonkey sent me a selection so I could try a few. Astras are good but I only get 2 decent shaves thbe find they get a bit tuggy.
Aye, my new razor is a stoater so I'm looking for a pure beast of a blade to mangle my melt wae...no?
