Thanked: 580Ok, try waiting 2 days before next shave. Practice making a lather, soap is relatively cheap, and I find it easier to make it too thick and then thin it out from there. It doesn't take much water, just add a couple of drops at a time. Also a good idea I picked up here is practice stropping with a blunt butter knife, or something similar. Helps get your technique right. The razor should be good for another shave at least before you attempt stropping it. With 2 days growth, you should be able to see whiskers in lather. Start with blade near flat on cheek, and adjust angle slightly till you feel it working, should be no more than 30 degrees. Hope this helps, hang in there.
