I spent a couple minutes lathering my face and gave it a go. One of the first things I noticed was that the blade seemed to stick to my face, this concerned me because I was having visions of me taking a nice big lunchmeat shaped slice off of my cheek. I lathered again and it seemed to stick less. I made it through my entire face and neck but had to go over some areas several times. I put aloe on after and have almost no razor burn.
Questions,
What angle do I want to hold the blade at, when I did a very shallow angle, as in almost flat on my skin it did no seem to cut. And when I did a very steep angle like on my jaw at almost 90% it seemed to just make a scraping noise but didn't cut either. Is there a magic angle that will help me get under my jaw and neck? I am super smoother on my cheeks and around my mouth but under my jaw and neck it feels like it did with my electric. Is this likely just because I am new to it and don't have the touch yet or am I doing something very wrong?
I started on my neck at the bottom and shaved up and when I got near my jaw I went side to side.
