shavecraft said:I found myself getting some duff shaves a while into this too, after initially thinking I had it cracked...I think complacency can creep in then the technique gets sloppy...concentrated on lightness of touch...no pressure...on really getting a good lather..and on resisting the temptation for just another pass to get that little bit smoother. That made the difference and I rarely get a really bum shave now.
Gigahurtz said:After such a fantastic start i have hit a razor burn wall. The Gillette Yellows have been great but last few shaves i have been sore and needed multiple passes to get an acceptable shave. Before i was having great shaves. I am not sure if it just laziness with the razor, angle of blade or poor prep.
I simply splash with hot/warm water after washing face in shower and then apply shave soap directly to face (lather on face method). Pre shave tips and advice welcome. What pre shave wash/soap do others use?
I have ordered some of the Prof's shave oil in hope it will provide extra cushion when shaving.
:huh:
