Thread: And then the blood flowed like wine....

Pressure and angle can be a bugger. Have you watched the Videos out there of others shaving those areas? Watch all you can because what one person does may not work for you and you only find out after trying those moves. Everyone has a slightly different way to shave, angle and pressure will be a constant but how one gets those angles and how one holds the razor can be quite different. Try as many holds and directions to find what works best for you.

Like the other guys said, it's likely to be angle issue, possibly while moging along the edge as well. Let me add that if the styptic is not stopping the bleeding, superglue works miracles. It certainly is not neccessary with expencive gear to have great shaves - not at all - but going slow and paying close attention to angle and pressure is. Neosporin helps the cut heal fast, and will prevent scars. It does sound to me like you got a nice shave prep, so I am guessing it is in the actual shave technique. Slow and steady does it.
Best of luck, and don't hesitate to ask questions.

+1 on the angle suggestions and first aid instruction; however, if you just HAVE to find your solution (or partial solution) in another purchase, I would strongly recommend a tallow based soap like Mitchell's Wool Fat or Mike's Natural Soaps.
