Thread: Can Someone Please help me determine why these cuts occurred?

Ah yes but multi blade shaving requires no specific input even though it yanks those hairs right out of the follicle you as the user don't have to set any angle the razor does this for you.
Questions:-
1. What makes you think the blade is not sharp enough?
2. How long have you been using a straight
3. Have you had the blade honed by someone who knows what they are doing
4 How does it shave the rest of your face
5. what exactly is your pass routine, as when you're ATG the stubble should be almost gone before you attempt this.

I still think it's going to be technique try laying the blade completely flat on the upper lip, work with about an 1/8th of an inch move blade up and down in a kind of scrubbing movement and SLOWLY increase the blade angle a fraction at a time until it starts to remove stubble. Repeat across the top lip still just shaving a small section. Once you've completed all across the top lip at 1/8th start again at the exactly the same lower point where you've just shaved and do the same thing but this time increase the area covered by another 1/8th. Continue until you have completed the upper lip area.
One more thing if it were me I'd leave that upper lip for a couple of days at least to settle down again because where you cut will be raised until healed properly.
And finally some people use two hands to steady the blade and maintain the angle when shaving this area.

Please be careful you know what they said about the man who cut off his nose when asked how he smells a wit replied "Terrible!!"
