Thread: Big newb making the big jump

@Datsots - My hair sticks to my skin quite stubbornly too. I'm never sure if sometimes it's just hair under the skin when I look under the mirror. I try to eliminate all traces of black (my hair colour) when going for BBS; maybe BBS doesn't necessarily look hairless?

@Eekspa - Thanks for the tips

@tiddle - Thanks for the detailed advice on getting a good DE grip. I'll try it after all the cuts on my face have healed

@SixNipples - I know everyone says to only use pressure enough to remove the lather, but my hairs stick to my skin at a very sharp angle. In addition, it feels very sticky when I make a pass (usually a 2nd pass is not possible without more lather). Often the head of the DE razor sticks to the lather on my skin - making it feel like I'm dragging the DE across sticky tape. I have never really felt the DE Razor ever 'glide' even when going WTG.


I should also add that I am using the Merkur Futur. I'm finding the comb is scraping a lot of lather and not leaving enough behind for the blade. Is this normal for you guys? Do you use open combs instead?
