Thread: Big newb making the big jump

Welcome to the forum.

From your post I fear you got in the bad habit of to much pressure due to trying for a closer shave. Then switched things up and that bad habit bit you.

For the time being search for a good guide to DE shaving. The basics that I have picked up is least angle, least aggressive setting, good beard prep, and absolutely no pressure. Then send your straight to one of the pros listed in the classifieds, when you get it back don't strop before your first shave as bad stropping can degrade the edge.

Good luck
