Man, I could have written your perspective perfectly. We are on the exact same curve my friend.
I started with the laying it flat on the face then lifting till it cuts tonite with good success. No nicks.
My face actually gets good and clean shaving only WTG. However, there are spots that I just cannot get then. THe curves are still a total mystery, but I'm content to shave the area's I CAN shave for now. Tonite I actually shaved abuot 90% of my face with the strait. I had to finish around the jawline and the chin with the old mach3.
Face is still raw and tender, but again NO NICKS. that is a major accomplishment during this stage I'm told. Last time to much pressure. THis time many missed spot, but a much better experience.
We need to keep in touch as we progress, maybe we can help each other as we go!
BTW, I have some Tend Skin coming for the burns and bumps. If you haven't looked into it yet, do. The stuff is supposed to work wonders.
Later mate!!-- Any day I get out of bed, and the first thing out of my mouth is not a groan, that's going to be a good day --

Thanked: 48Yeah definitely we are riding the same wave and should keep in touch. I just ordered skin food and some camelia oil and some proraso pre-shave all hoping to make my skin feel better. I am also wondering what the difference the inox blade makes to a regular carbon steel and even perhaps just the blade being so new maybe it needs a few hundred shaves to take the edge off so to speak. I can do everything but the jawline and chin WTG without trouble assuming i can twist my face and neck enough in the mirror to see where I am going. I got two good half inch slashes on my right side I am hoping will heal. Look like a gang member.

I'm too impatient for all those techniques.
To me, 90 degrees is perpendicular. Half of that is too much, still. I go slightly more inclined than halfway. Works for me!!

Nothing wrong with looking like a gang member...better than a Sweeney Todd customer!
