Thread: Finally polished up my razor

Yesterday night I took my time and spend some more honing time with the razor on the 8k norton. Since it was not as shiny as some people say. Thinking this morning would be a nice shave since it's polished up. I'd go ahead and shave. Everything went smoother as usual until I was doing my underlip.
My underlip is a chicken and it suddenly started to shake when my razor was doing it's pass. Dang, about half a inch wide cut. It's not the first time I touched the underlip with the sudden movement, but the previous time it wasn't bleeding. So I kept going with my shaving.
Within a second I saw that this time it's a little bit different, it's gushing real hard. I didn't even bother making my second pass and started to stop the bleed. It took 20 minutes for the cut to stop to 1 point and another 20 minutes for the point to stop bleeding.
A sharp razor is nice, but not as forgiven. Next time, I'll bite my underlip so even if it wants to move, it won't be able to. Any more tips for stopping shaking body parts?

Sorry friend, but that was nicely described. I couldn't help laughing until I read on. Keep at it and wrangle that chicken lip into place.

Sorry.

ow...


sorry to hear that, friend. maybe some thumb tacks?
on a more serious note, are you maybe putting to much tension on your jaw (mouth wide open?)? That would fatigue the muscles and cause a tremble. If you are, you could try to close your mouth a bit, that would burn less energy, I think. (I'm making faces to try to figure it out for you...man I must look stupid)

you could be right about the fatigue, I did open my mouth and shave the chin first then closing it to shave my underlip. I'll remember to do the underlip first next time to avoid fatigue.

You shouldn't polish up that razor too much it can catch the light and blind you as you shave. You might shave off a body part.

Sorry to hear that.
It sounds like thumbtacks would bleed less.
