I just scraped my face off.
Hey all, I bought a DE to finish up my shaves, rather than spend the same amount of money on cartridges.
The razor is an Edwin Jagger DE89, with an astra blade (blue packaging, superior I believe).
Prep: Shower, proraso pre-shave cream. Shave: proraso white soap.
So, I was careful to just use the weight of the razor, and I ended up with a fair amount of blood, and it felt like it was pulling.
Now it's likely that I'm the problem, as I'm new to it (same with the straight), but I'm going to try a derby blade next time to see if that makes a difference.
Any thoughts? I also can't seem to figure out what lather is supposed to be like on my face. Maybe it's too thin?
Thanks,
Patrick
