Corking my shavette blade
I have been on again off again with SR shaving and am trying to get the hang of it with a Bluebeards Revenge shavette. I was going to buy a SR but decided to wait until I can get the hang of the shavette.
The purpose of this post was to mention that I have consistent problems with the blade feeling too sharp for my skin. So this morning I tried corking my Derby Blade and it really seemed to make a difference. The shave was not as "edgy" and I had fewer weepers (just a couple on my chin...my usual difficult spot).
Now, I realize corking the blade may have made no difference at all...maybe my technique is just improving and maybe I am finally getting the hang of the razor, but for the first time I got a BBs shave without even aiming for one!
