    Unhappy Sigh !

    I had my 10th shave today.

    I don't want to talk about it. Nuff said.

    Steve I've read through this thread and I think you are just trying way too hard! Also a line in your original post at this thread said "I'm wizzing through this shave"--It's not a race

    I also think that you need to stop and do some thinking. Then just go back to GO and do not Go To Jail. Just start again by shaving just from your sideburns to the jawline then finish with whatever you were using before picking up a straight to finish the shave.

    Do this until you are either blood free or only a small nick. THEN start underneath the jawline or under the nose.

    Don't try for a BBS (Baby Butt Smooth) shave, just try to get a decent shave with any touch up with whatever you have used in the past.

    This is an age old art. Back in the day when a young man needed to start shaving his beard was still pretty soft and he had a father, brother, uncle or even a neighbor to help him learn.

    This age old art has a pretty steep learning curve but once semi mastered is very satisfying. Don't give up--Just Slow WAY DOWN

    Damn!
    That sounds familiar, Roy. LOL.

    Go slow and easy Steve. You have many years to learn this way of shaving. And even after you have been at it for 2 or 3 years you will still find new things that help comfort. And... Leave the hones alone for now!
    It's just Sharpening, right?
