Thread: I've started to cut myself regularly

I just started the same, turned out I was using more pressure to shave as the edge has began to become duller. Check it real good and adjust stropping technique or may be time to have it honed. I just sent mine off to another member for honing.

It's difficult to know what might be going on; there's not a lot to go on really. Could be your technique, could be that your stropping is not quite there and your edge has suffered a bit as a consequence, could be what the golfers call the "yips", could be your stretching, complacency etc. Can you give us any more information?

James.

Could be any or all of the above...

Process of elimination.

Remember to shave the lather not the skin.. no pressure.

I won't be the first to say it can upwards of 100 shaves to really get the groove and muscle memory, so don't let yourself get over-confident this early...
