Thread: 1st SR shave today

I'm a newbie, too, about a week into it. Watch some of the shaving videos. Put your hand over your head and pull up on the sideburns and watch the angle of the blade, about a 30 degree angle. If you don't do a bit of stretching the blade will just pull your face down with your beard. Go very lightly and you should almost hear and feel the blade cutting, but it should feel pretty smooth. You can always go back over the same area, so don't rush it.

Just shave small sections at a time, and don't try to do too much at once. You can always finish off with your safety razor. Once you get the easy parts of your face down, only then move on to other parts of your face.

Hope this helps.
