Thanked: 4The thing is that my face wasn't bleeding, more than the occasional weeper. So I don't know. What I do know is that I'm sometimes too stubborn for my own good (stupid, really). So I assumed that the rawness I felt was due to my face not being used to a straight razor and to me being inexperienced when using it.
That's good to know, about the rawness. Since I probably will feel less inclined to continue if I start feeling raw again, considering how I look right now. I just need to know the line between raw because of not being used to a straight, and raw because of scraping off all the skin in my face.
That's also a good tip. Though I have to wait a whíle before I can fund a new DE. I'm probably going to invest in new blades though (I'm using Feather blades atm), to see if that can smooth things out.
Haha. I don't think I need to read the forums to not trust the "shave ready"-term after my little adventure. But I get your point!

Bergstedt, A hot shower won't interfere. Use a cold water facial rinse before you lather and make your lather with cold water. A cold water rinse after shaving helps tighten the pores up and is refreshing.
As for Mentor in your area, I haven't spotted any but there are a number of SRP members in Stockholm. Among them is a MrMagnus. Young, but an experienced SRP member. Has good knowledge and I'm sure would be more than happy to help you achieve your goal. Send him a PM and see how it goes. And keep us informed of your progress."The sharpening stones from time to time provide officers with gasoline."

Pre-shave is just that, only before you lather. And make sure that you are using as little pressure as possible on the razor.
