    How are you prepping your face?

    Even the sharpest razors will pull if you have not prepped properly. If you are not doing so already try having a shower and washing your face straight away. when you get out do not wipe or pat your face. Get yourself a nice thick lather with a brush and work it into your beard for about 2 minutes then shave.

    See if this helps, my 2 cents

    I'm a jumper! I'm a jumper! I really think I'm going to leave this whole straight razor business unless I can try a professionally honed CUSTOM straight razor! HELP!

    :-)

    Well I had to try!

    They are all over the place but be prepared to get bombarded with viruses and spyware when you download them. It's safer to steal them from the forums. I actually stole from here for my msn and I've been using adn before they were made available on this forum.

    Sounds like your stropping technique is suspect.

    Your shave technique should be OK if you can do it OK on the shavette.

    Let Bill hone it and then shave with it before stropping. Shave the next day after stropping it and see if it has gone dead. Hopefully it won't have.

    Hey Firestart, how do you "steal" a smilie? I can copy and paste it as a picture but can't get the animation.

    I'm not very savy at this stuff. I have a smiley menu at the bottom of this box, but the same two lines as usual. Don't see the new stuff.

    Dang......hahahaha

    Unhappy

    Don't feel bad Lynn, I've been trying to figure out how to add a smiley to my text lines since the site started. I can put them on the title bar but thats it.

    Thanks for all of the advice; it's amazing how much technique goes into this. I am indeed taking Bill up on his offer and in thankful for his kind assistance. I'm not jumping - yet. and am determined to make this work. I'm am getting tired of going to school (I teach high school and attend University) with my face a patchwork of blood and scruff. After shaving yesterday, I'll be cutting WAY back until I heal up.
