Hey guys,
I'm only three months into the straigh razor lifestyle and loving it!
I have to say Lynn's video made it all possible and I've reached a point where I haven't nicked ir cut myself in weeks...UNTIL I switched over in mybrotation to a new, shave ready Dovo Bismark the other day.
Big slices on both cheek that I think came from the toe (end of blade) and really were deep. Even deeper than the very first day I tried shaving with a straight razor.
Even though the Bismsark came "shave-ready" I did strop it first.
Is it possible I bent something during the strop?
I say this because as I cut myself it felt as though a "burr" was scratching me.
Or, is the shape of the Bismark such that I need to adjust my technique?
Any help, or an offer to mentor me would make m eternally grateful. I'm doing all the proper pre-shave and I think I had a 20 degree angle, but I'm stumped
Thanks,
Jim Harper
