Thread: Wet Shave Part II- The Sequel!

Here is something that might help you. I start with my razor flat and lift into the stroke, modifying the angle as I go through contours. I have found that it is really easy to pick an angle that is too obtuse becaue of our experience with the razors of the past.

Also, I have found that there is no advnatage for me to start at say the top of my cheek and run the stroke all the way down my neck or even to my jaw line. I use short 1/4 to 1/2" overlapping strokes as I move through the pass. Many people do. The advantage is that you have more control over the blade, more opportunity for course correction, and if you do manage to get a cut going, you willnot have momentum to exacerbate the cut an make it longer.

Just some things to try - and keep it up. It is very rewarding when you get it down.
