Thread: 4th shave and have some questions

Yeah, just wait until you've done 13 shaves! Then you'll be a real expert, like me

Stick with it, be patient and you will be rewarded. I have noticed a huge improvement in my first dozen shaves and I still have so much more to learn. My advice, as a fellow learner, is to not try to do too much, too soon.

i tried everything today and nothing happend i check my angle went slow light pressure and not hair cutting, Some little hairs were coming off but no obvious stubble removal. Im not to sure i find have i have to put more pressure to get anything removed my face burns hahaha

Your face burns because you're using excess pressure. As I said before you're razor is not sharp if it doesn't cut hair.

indeed well my face is fairly tough i heal in less then a day if i keep moisturizing my face. Just going to grow some more stumble out and try tomorrow hopfully good results will come if not o well just more practise.

All the advice in this thread is great advice ! I also think your blade might not be sharp enough . Can you please tell us about your blade ? What brand of razor is it ? Was it honed at the factory ? Did you hone it yourself ? Did a knife shop hone it for you ? This information will help us help you . We want you to get great shaves , and we're here to help you do it .
