Thread: ouch

butchered my neck today, i must not have the right angles down yet, I got the cheeks pretty good, real smooth, afterword tho, face was kinda red, idk i guess maybe some razor burn, then of course i cut the **** out of my finger by trying to get the lather off the blde with my fingers by sliding down the blade big mistake!
anyhow, i still enjoy it, hopfully i will get better at it

Ahhhh! The good ol'days!

I think going over the same area too many times is the main cause of razor burn , at least it was for me. As your technique improves it settles into a "healthy glow" lasting just a few minutes, and eventually you just get a clean shave.

I sweep lather off the blade with my finger too, it's a good way to check the whole blade is cutting well, and besides, it's just so satisfying seeing all that stubble that's been swept off your face. If you use a stropping-style swipe it's fairly safe, but I bet I'll get careless one day.

Those could both add up to an indication of a rolled edge. Cutting yourself while sliding your finger down the edge + irritation = rolled edge. Its possible. Use less pressure when shaving and strop a lot more next time.

possibly a rolled edge, although when i cut my finger i stupidly ran my finger over the blade very fast, so i think i might of angled it enough for the cut.

next time i will strop a good amount and use less pressure, thanks for the replies

caution blade is sharp but i can beat that one, before i knew how to properly do a hht i held the hair in one hand and used the razor like a sword making a swift cut well i darn near cut the end of my finger off slicing right through my fingernail that is one lesson i learned the hard way but take the advice and ship it to a honemeister everybody makes mistakes now and then just laugh about it and keep on truckin

Please do not tell me you were using your new Livi and rolled the edge...

the edge is definitly Not rolled, i think im just not used to such a sharp razor, my dovo i had before the livi wasn't nearly as sharp, cause the livi just mowed down the wiskers!
