What an experience :hmmm:
well, using the trusty lathering technique from all these weeks of DE shaving, i did my usual routine, and prepared for the shave... contrary to what i heard, and what i assumed (i assumed the razor would glide effortlessly over my face just mowing down anything in its path) the razor grabbed, pulled, scraped, you name it! im positive it was my technique, so thats what im here to discuss... obviously not stropping probably didnt help, but the guy i bought it from said he honed it and stropped it so it would be good for at least 1 shave... it was definitely sharp, no doubt about it... the parts i DID get good angle on and whatnot went pretty smoothly, but my technique sucks... is there any pointers i can recieve on the first SR shave? i think the biggest problem for me was my upper lip... sensitive, and hard to go ATG... but WTG and XTG didnt get anywhere near the amount of stubble off i wanted.. so, to all those who are willing to help a newb... what can i do to start improving on these skills?
