Good Day Gents!

“ I don’t even know what I’m doing…”
Because I don’t even know what I’m doing…

Razor | ‘Kinmoji’ Kamisori | Soap | I’m not sure, it was a gift, hand-made, it’s excellent | Brush | Windsor Badger | After Shave | Myrosol Aqua de Limón

Very first shave with a kamisori, and it all felt very odd. It was at the shaving stand in the bedroom which always makes things a little different (light, angles in a different mirror). I think I had the angle of the razor wrong, at first it sort of ‘sucked’ on to my face; making me think the lather was too gluggy but the lather was fine; I think it was due to the profile. I changed the angle and it went pretty well but there was some tugging. I swapped to my Klas Törnblom Swedish frame back to work out if it was the razor (or the way I was using it) or the lather. The Törnblom glided through the razors fine.

Working on the left side with my right hand took some thinking. I was only able to do the L side of my neck with a S to N motion, I couldn’t work out how to do it otherwise.

I need some more time to work with this razor and work out the angles to use it at. My first thought was ‘I can’t be bothered’ but now I want to persevere; firstly because it was a gift and secondly because I should try harder. It may need a touch-up on the Shapton 16k; it’s not really passing the TPT for me.
