I have just completed my second shave. After my first shave, I was really wondering why with a very sharp razor I was getting pulling on the first pass (I only had one day's worth of stubble). I received some comments from SRP members about my blade angle.

Today, I really concentrated on my blade angle and it definitely helped. Much less resistance, but I did notice something....

If I did around 3 short strokes over the same area successively in-a-row, the resistance and effort required to move the blade decreased dramatically with each stroke.

Is this a normal issue?

or do I need to still work on blade angle, and my stroke. I have received help from Utopian and he suggested a scything motion. Any help will be appreciated.
