Thread: I just scraped my face off.

Hi Pat.

I don't know the Edwin Jagger DE89 but I believe it has a bit of weight to it.

I agree with 06 try a different blade I do like the feather blades, just use the weight of the razor and maybe just work straight down your face the first time.

There should be no tugging or pulling when you shave the razor should just slice thru your whiskers.

I'm not sure how everyone else does it but I shave right after I shower, before I get out I soap up my beard for a few min and give it a good wash and then let the warm water run over it for a bit. Then get out of the shower and dry off except for my face. I have my razor and brush soaking in the bowl in hot water wile I shower.

I empty the bowl and apply some cream to the brush and the consistency I like when I am making it there should be little peaks forming around the edge of the bowl and if I pull the brush out the cream should form a peak and not run under it's own weight. Kind of like mixing a good batch of render.

Keep at it mate it really is a good way to shave and fast once you get it down it takes me around ten min to do a three pass shave including prep and clean up. You'll learn fast.
