my face is drying out before I'm done
I've shaved twice and my face is drying out.
I have Art of Shaving lavendar cream and pre shave oil and I use a pre shave scrub in the shower before I shave.
I'm making a good lather and I'm rubbing the oil against the grain. Pretty much my right side is ok, I still am working on technique. By the time I start the left side the blade everything gets tough. I'm not taking any longer than with a safety or Gillete fusion. I don't have this problem with those.
I finished honing the blade, new at that too and stropped it on an old belt ( that may be the problem). It passes the HHT test down the blade, some areas cut faster than others
Is the blade not sharp enough yet? What am I doing wrong? this hurts. I do nick my self but it's more of an irritation on my neck :confused:
Thanks
Mark
