I'm assuming there are shaving gods much like golfing gods, and after feeling like I had shot under par for my first shave with a straight yesterday I was put soundly in my place for the second shave!!! I would like to atone for my over confidence and pray for forgiveness and hope that tomorrow is a better day, lol


There was blood and a lot of it I hope my penance is paid. I cut my cheek, bad angle with off hand and 3 weepers on the neck cleaned up with the de razor and while shaving my head cut a serious chunk out of it, which i have never done.


Why? I am not sure, I changed soap from Proraso to a Sandalwood from Stirling which seems to be a slicker soap to me so I thought that would help but the razor was sticking and skipping from the start, muddled through the first pass wtg with it and regrouped, tried stropping again with a lighter touch and the second pass went better so I'm chalking this up to bad stropping technique. I'm going to endeavor to persevere, but today was rough.


Any advice would be appreciated as I am definitely not the prodigy I thought I was.
