Providing you have the angles right you may need to use a little pressure, enough to prevent bouncing across your skin, not too much, just enough!I know you should use very little pressure when DE shaving, but when I use just the weight of the razor "Rockwell 6C' I find the razor seems to tug/bounce on the beard growth and is uncomfortable. I have tried a variety of different blades but its the same with all of them so far. Any thoughts or advice?
Currently using TOB sensitive cream it's very slick. Takes a good hot water rinse after I shave to get rid of that residual then a good splash of cold water.What soap are you using? Some soaps don't have enough glide and can cause a razor to skitter. I'd guess that would be exacerbated by an ultra-light touch.
I completely agree with this. The 'no pressure' mantra is a bit exaggeratered.When I started DE shaving I think I took the "no pressure" rule a little too rigorously. Now I use just enough pressure to ensure I'm asserting myself over the razor, rather then it being in charge!
I am thinking your blade angle is too steep hence the problem with scraping rather than cutting. Try a blade angle nearer to 30 degress. These illustrations may help;I know you should use very little pressure when DE shaving, but when I use just the weight of the razor "Rockwell 6C' I find the razor seems to tug/bounce on the beard growth and is uncomfortable.
