Thanked: 2Beginner needs help!
Hey guys, I am still pretty new to this. I have like 8 or 9 shaves under my belt, but i have a problem. The first few shaves I only used my right hand (dominant hand) and didn't attempt ATG. I would just do like one WTG one XTG and call it good. On my 3rd or 4th shave I started using both hands switching to my left hand for my left side. I would do about 2 WTG 1 XTG and 1 or 2 ATG. My problem is, the left side of my face like my cheek, after I was done I would realize I took off like the top layer of my skin. Kind of resembled a mix between a carpet burn and minor road rash. I try and make sure my degrees of angles are correct. I have a feeling it has to do with too much pressure. I use a Tweezerman brand badger hair brush, Col Conk soap, a Shavette style SR, and some basic bay rum aftershave. I would really really appreciate some advice from you masters of the art form known as straight shaving. Thank you.
