Thanked: 0Question about first few SR shaves
Hey guys. I have now shaved with my SR twice now. I took a hot shower (with the water running on my face a lot), got out (without drying face off), lathered up, and shaved. However, both times I have been getting little spots of blood all over where I shave, especially on my neck area, and I'm wondering why this is? I watched the shaving video by jockeys in the Wiki section, so I was trying to do it like him for the most part. My SR will pass the HHT so I know that it's not the fact that it's not sharp enough... I was wondering if it is because I'm not holding the SR at the right angle? It seemed to do a little better when I held it at a narrower angle and not cut me as much, but I don't know...It was just pretty uncomfortable, and I know that this is not how a SR shave should be. Jockeys said that if it is uncomfortable at all, then you are doing it wrong... so what am I doing?
*one more thing, I am using the Van der halen shaving soap... it doesnt' seem to lather so well (using a boar brush, but will try it with a badger brush tomorrow). Thanks!
