Shout out to Ashburn from Alexandria!

If I were you, I would pay great attention to face prep. I'm using Taylor of Old Bond Street shave cream in a jar. I use really hot water on my face. Same on the brush. (Be sure to soak the brush a while first.)

Then, a couple of daubs of the soap, and work it up on your face. Around and around and around. Keep adding more hot water to the brush. Don't let the soap dry out. I think you'll see this approach will limit tugging quite a bit.

Also, blade angle should be LOW to your face, even around curves!

Hey there! I'm in Fairfax, just down the street. Stop by anytime.
