Thread: 3rd time shaving

I'm trying to shave for the 3rd time but this time I didn't sliced half of my face. Only did the side burns and a bit down. it's hard for me on the left side as I use the same hand. My beard is hard and it was long. When it's time to go down or on my chin, I feel that I'm gonna cut myself if I try to go there. I'm more comfortable to start where there's no hair and then I can start. It was better I guess cause I didn't sharped the blade on the first time. This time I stropped the blade 3 time (when I had time) before the shaving. It was brand new, at first I thought it was ready for shaving.


And the 2nd time I left water on the blade it got rust, I can't get rid of it even with oil?! Sometime I 'm thinking I'm gonna pay the barber for giving me a lesson while is shaving my beard with my blade and the stropp.

That's an awesome idea! DO IT!!!

Proper stropping technique is critical. If you have an expert nearby (like your barber) you should take advantage of the wealth of information he can provide you!

I agree with Morty, a Barber can probably give you a lot of great advise.

Thanks folks. Namaskar, Martin.
