I am always getting the angle of pitch of the blade wrong one one part of my face or another, and extremely happy to admit it. I am quite quick on the uptake with most things, whether it be the written part of the airforce flying exam, or far worse, the VCR instructions, but I really had to admit to myself I was a completely clueless ape when I first tried to shave with a straight. What I thought would be rather dangerous but stupidly simple, turned out for me to be a very slow but fascinating learning curve. Years later, still willing to learn.
The best way I can describe it is changing from a cartridge to a straight razor is like getting out of a baby buggy and onto a unicycle. Both glide and pitch in absolutely infinite directions!

I have never used petroleum jelly on my face, but I have used it on my hands. This stuff works wonders on dried out and cracked skin. I used to have a job where I worked outside in harsh weather and dealt with getting my hands wet then dry constantly. Needless to say it took a punishing toll on my hands. It got to the point that all my knuckels were cracking so bad that they would bleed! I tried lotions with little to no results, besides intensifying the pain. Finally my father told me to get a pair of surgical gloves, put a THICK COAT of petroleum jelly on each hand and wor e the gloves over night. I woke up the next morning, the jelly was all but gone and my hands were COMPLETELY HEALED! Although I wouldn't have thought of this, applying a light coat to the face doesn't seem that strange to me, especialy if someone has dry skin. I might even give this a try some time, thanks for the idea.
Regards
