Thread: Razor not sharp??

Try playing with the angle of the blade. Most people will disagree but a steeper angle works better on my face. This is qualified saying 'My face", YMMV.

The other thing I do is use a buffing stroke sometimes. You take a one inch stroke then come up 3/4 of an inch and then take another one stroke and repeat. If you do this every section of your face will get the blade several times.

You should never, ever, ever, ever be tugging the razor against your face. That is hands and knees begging for a huge cut. Remember use a light touch with your blade.

Lastly, don't go for BBS on your first pass. Your goal with every pass should be to be a little smoother than the last pass. I will even go so far as to say do a second WTG pass before you go ATG. You should get noticably less tugging. Eventualy it will all fall together and you will get rockin' shaves.
