Getting better at shaving, but face is burning
Hey folks,
Ok, so today was my 4th shave. I feel like I'm getting the hang of things.
I had to try several passes on each location, 'cuz I didn't shave em worth a crap the first pass.
I'm still working on the angle, but here's what's weird. I figured out a way to hold the razor in my right hand that worked much better shaving the left side. By changing grip I suddenly had a lot more control on the left side and actually made a little better strokes than last time.
I found the neck section angle the easiest and got suprisingly clean strokes on it that even impressed me.
Now on my left cheek and on a few spots here and there I didn't get exactly close on the first attempts. The blade angle was just too low. As I worked it, it got better, but by then I'd already missed a spot. SO after the first go, I washed, re-soaped and did it again!!!
I can't believe I shaved almost my whole face once, and never a nick, then did it again!! and still only one tiny nick on my neck. I was pretty happy too! The spots I did well (I only do WTG for now) were smooth as silk. Around the chin and jawline is still pretty sketchy, but after I'm done I run the mach3 over the spots. Remember, I'm just learning, so I gotta clean it up somehow..
So, my Tend Skin hasn't arrived yet, and I don't have any really good moisturizing face stuff, so I use nothing but leaving it clean as I can. At first it kind of hurt, like I shaved it too close maybe. Now, just a few hours later, just a few spots hurt a little bit, like I scraped them with the razor maybe? Is this my skin getting used to it, or my razor hand getting used to my face? Is there a good face moisturizer that won't cost me an arm and a leg?
So many questions, so little time,Off to bed I go!
Thanks mates!!-- 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 --
