I don't know why but it felt like the whiskers were being pulled from my skin. After the first pass I decided to try again. Same thing, heavy pulling on my skin to the point where is hurt a bit. I stopped after two passes and figured the razor needs some attention or I really stropped wrong.
Funny part is I did get a very close shave which does not make sense. I guess this one gets some attention tomorrow.

I really hate winter - cold, snow and ice. Every year I get more determined to move south for good. Originally Posted by eTom

Crisp and clean cold water face lathered shave on this -14c and snowy morning. Finally got a break from the -30c morning temps. Been working on this Wosty a bit here and there and finally it is shaving very smoothly, it was sharp and harsh before. A bit at a time on the Zulu Grey put the smooth into her. Have a good one.
