Thread: Multiple passes

I would say you are busy learning one shave at a time how to strop, refresh a blade, keep it light in the hand and on the skin, prep for a shave the best you can, lather well and figure out skin stretching for your beard pattern. If you're not bleeding a puddle in the sink every day then you probably are doing everything right. It takes a while for all the pieces to fall in place. Plus, under the jaw is tough for most people - more practice, sharp and more stretch will get you there better than more passes.

Keep at it!
