Thanked: 2Sharp enough?
I have a new DOVO and it will cut a "hanging hair" pretty much each time with the little "ping" to let me know it's sharp. However, I'm not getting all of the whiskers shaved. I don't want to make to many WTG passes, for fear of razor burn. I'm guessing my angle is off, or perhaps my pressure is to light? I don't want to press too hard. I'm really just gliding lightly now. Is there a likelyhood that my angle is off, so i'm just 'running over' the hairs? I should have enough whiskers again tonight to experiment.
SIDENOTE: I have discovered (for me) after my shave, I will rinse with cold water, then I will put on an aftershave balm (Nivea), then put aloe/skin moisturizer also - and any little bit of razor burn I have, is gone pretty quickly. Also, it's important to keep lathering up with the brush / shaving soap during the shave. DON'T shave even a small little section with just water or dry shaving soap - just re-apply real quick. It makes a difference for me!
