Thread: 4th Day Questions and Comments

Angle and stretching will help with razor burn, as will making sure the edge is shave ready - I'm assuming that bit is OK. Also in the early stages your skin is getting used to the new way of shaving and a little redness etc shouldn't be unexpected or cause concern.

When I trim around my moustache and goatee I always go up/down, never sideways. I find using the tip of the edge and the heel of the edge (depending on what side you are trimming) helps a lot in these areas.

As for the razor catching under the lip, that area is probably every male's densest beard growth. It could simply be that, or it could be that your edge could use some more work to make it a bit sharper (maybe some more stropping, for example).

Sounds like you are doing well!
