Thread: 1st Shave

I'm with LZ6 on this one. Those titan razors puts you in gold dollar territory in other words another spotty Chinese razor that may be problematic. Take your time you will get there. If shaving with one or two spine widths off your face is causing pulling and tugging and you don't think you messed up the razor on the strop, Its fair to say that the razor maybe the culprit. Give it another shot try to strop the razor again pull the strop taught lay the razor flat on strop dont take the spine off ever. Do a good amount of laps slowly carefully maybe 60 or 70 don't bear down either just a nice comfortable light pressure enough to make solid contact. Then try and shave again make sure you prep your face well after a shower whatever, good lather on a wet face. Im just trying to ensure there are no other factors that are messing up your shave. Try and shave with your razor again be mindful of your angle light touch, stretch the skin shave and see if it is still tugging if it is most likely the razor is dull or damaged. Now what to do about that is up to you but I would recommend you getting a razor of known quality that is shave ready and proceed from there. Good luck don't give up.
