Thread: Around lips and chin

Usually when I get myself it's a combination of needing to re-strop and impatience. I make a couple of passes with no joy and instead of taking a second to check on my blade or angle I just get a little more aggressive and then I get a little red line.

This exacerbates itself by having the line then become a sticking point on the next shave. That's my experience, anyway.

Get an alum block to treat your nicks between passes

I didn't mean that it sticks in the same shave, but that the scar tissue become a sticking point in subsequent shaves.

Ooh, than, an alum block csn add dome slickness if you run in ynder the watter just before touchinf yor face, or you csn try soking your brush longer to lake yoyr lather a little fuller then when you add a touch if water on each lather it sill be slicker.

You may asso just need to attack or from anothwr anhle, sxare tussue never plays fir

Learning about stretching the skin by either using your off hand or puffing your cheeks out or pulling your mouth to one side...etc as well as using the lightest touch possible with the blade will be what does the most for preventing nicks and cuts.
