Fairly new to all of this, but I have been practicing for a couple of weeks on and off, and I have a couple of questions that I can’t find answers to elsewhere on the forum.
1 Blade edges are numbered 1,2,3,4 this seems to imply that they can be flipped over, is this the case?
2 What is the process you use, at the moment I:
Shower and use a face scrup,
Then knock up some lather and apply it to my face and shave with the grain,
Then re-lather and go across it (or sometimes with it again)
Then rinse in warm water and pat dry,
Then apply some balm (body shop stuff that I already had although I'm finding my chin greasy by lunchtime)
Am I missing out any bits? Any suggestions?
I'm getting some good results. The grain on my neck is a swirl so it’s a bit tricky to get right, although so far I have had no cuts or red lumps.
I'm using an EJ89 with Darby blades, boots cream and a synthetic brush.
Also if there are any other newbie’s reading this I have found that shaving in the evening is better for me as I can take my time and I'm not rushing for work or fighting with the Mrs for the mirror.
Cheers Guys
