2nd shave - comments & question
After a good first straight razor shave, I let the beard grow 2.5 days & tried a shave this morning.
I started with side burns & jaw, which went well, but for some reason It didn't go as well as the first time. Some strokes were ok, but most pulled. I put 100000% blame on technique. I tried the neck, the chin, even tried the mustache, but stopped that after feeling I wasn't in control of the razor. Then I decided to switch hands, just to try it out. To my surprise, my clumbsy hand actually gave me a better shave than my dominant hand :shrug:
I only went with the grain, but still got a decent shave out of it, pretty much on par with a cartridge. And no nicks !! :)
Considering my clumbsy hand managed better I have the following question: Is it possible I'm puting too little pressure with my right hand ? I'm very precise with my right hand, I can do extremely fine things with it, is it possible I'm just giving too light of a touch? Or would the difference between both hands be due to different blade angle ? Or maybe both ??????
Thanks in advance,
Glenn.
