Practice is all you need, it is a learning process.
As said before , it does look like your angle needs to open up a bit. The blade looked a bit flat against your face at times.
keep it up

You are doing good, nothing to add it's like learning to ride a Horse you will fall off just get back on, your razor angle looks good and a + for using both hands, practice makes perfect keep it up you will get there.

Hi all,
A quick question if you don't mind.
I have seen strops in the Buy/Sell section.
How do you use the strops that are just leather all the way to the end with no handle or ring?

Pinch them between you index finger and thumb.
Don't need a death grip when stropping. If you can pull it out of your fingers, your stropping with too much pressure.Mike

Thanked: 207 Thank You
Today I had my 13th shave.
Thank you all for your advice and guidance on my 12th shave. It was definitely worth shaving in front of you all. The guidance you were able to give me made me feel like you were standing there and teaching me.
Todays shave was a lot more confident, my lather was much wetter and felt like wiping Mr Whippy ice cream into my face.
I concentrated on my angle and kept adding lather to make sure it stayed wet.
I had a very comfortable shave, with no blood. I fumbled for the right grip and direction much less.
My neck is not BBS but I am happy with my progress.
I feel that the advice you all gave me was priceless and let me jump much further up the learning curve.
I thank you all and look forward to showing you my improvement and learning more from your generous guidance in another 7 shaves.
My Alum Block still wasn't stinging so I guess I should maybe press a bit harder.

Not necessarily so. No stinging is usually considered a sign of a good shave all other factors of the shave considered like closeness. OTH a little tingling is no so bad. Be careful with pressure.
