Thread: First few shaves... not so good

Maybe your using wrong type of razor? I dont Know what type of blade a Gnome is,Stiff blade,wedge,soft blade,flexible.Different kinds of blades for diff hair type.Wronge blade could be your problem.Elaborate on your hair type and blade.

ok lets start with the basics. It sounds to me as if your razor is just dull but is lynn honed it that should not be the issue. next how many strokes are you stropping your razor. are you lifting the spine at all when you strop? this could roll the blade and cause the razor to dull. Also how are you prepping before the shave and what products are you using? give us a few more details and we would love to help you improve your shaving experience. You can also drop me a pm with question or we could discuss this in the chat. anyway help fill in the blanks and we will help if we can But keep in mind that it is not uncommon for your first few shaves to not go so well as you learn more and practice things will get better just hang in there.
