Shaving Pressure and Angle
I started str8 razors about a month ago and have learned something with each shave. I was on my own for the first three weeks and didn't know this site existed. After reading what the more experienced shavers have posted, my shaves are getting better.
Before reading these posts, I wasn't consistant in my razor angle and was using to much pressure. In the past I shaved with electric razors and safety razors which required a lot of pressure to get a good shave. I am now working on becoming consistant with the angle and letting the razor glide across my skin. Since I quit using so much pressure I have stop getting cuts, razor burns and nicks.
If it wasn't for the advice I have read in these postings...it would have probably would have taken me another couple months to learn these things. Good luck...
