Thread: Do you ever feel like you're getting worse at shaving?

Harold, I see you joined in June. Have you been straight shaving long?
I ask because as the winter comes here, the skin drys up and the hairs get stiffer. Like an old dog! I find I need a bit more prep and skin care in the winter months in order to get as good a shave as in the warm ones. Took me a while to correllate this time of year and shaves falling off a bit. Nothing had changed but my face! I am pretty sure it would be even more so in a colder clime as yours.

My favorite cure is about 6 drops of vitamin E oil rubbed in good before bed. For some reason, if it is cold, I get a better shave with 1 hot towel-over -lather than the customary 2!
