Thread: Razor "skipping"

I have had the same problem. I have tried different solutions, but after some soreness and a cut two days ago I think going against the grain is just not for my skin. I can get a good shave going with the growth and then across.

This has happened to me as well. Almost everytime it skips, I have got bit. I chalked it up to my angle being too steep, but there are probably other factors at play too. Hasn't happened in a long time.

About the lather... There are soaps and creams out there that help by being extra slick. T&H rose comes to mind as being "extra" slick. There are others out there that are slicker than others. Make sure you are using a very slick lather with plenty of cushion. That picture of your lather seems to be really thin and it looks a little dry also.
1. Slick lather with lots of cushion
2. Very sharp edge
3. Technique, technique,technique.
Relax and know that it will happen, don't sweat it!
