Thanked: 11Shaving is the easy part - stropping on the other hand...
No problems shaving, getting very smooth shaves with 2 passes, WTG and XTG. Only did one BBS shave in the 2 weeks I've been shaving but that was the only time I did ATG as well. No nicks, no cuts. A very satisfied shaver.
But stropping!! Not having any trouble maintaining the edge, I haven't rolled it. Getting even pressure and smooth strokes, the edge still feels great when I shave so I must be doing it right. The problem is nicking the strop at the bottom. I'm not even sure how I'm doing it, I do a few strokes and there's another nick. If I cut myself as much as I cut my strop I'd go back to cartridges. I was doing so well the first few days so I sped up my stropping and now I'm nicking all the time. The past 3 days have been the worst, I'm getting worse rather then better it seems. Guess I have to slow it down again.
