    Yeppers unfortunatly if the issue is with multiple razors the cause lies with the guy looking back from the mirror each morning

    I like OCD's suggestion of going back to the basics, helps me to do that now and then, been at this for 34 years now and I still can catch myself using to much pressure sometimes have to tell myself "Back off idiot"

    Good luck on sorting it out quickly

    Is it possible all your edges have become rusty.

    Hahaha I wish they were! Then I'd have something to blame but alas they're not, so the one to blame has to be yhe guy staring back in the mirror [emoji16] thanks for the thoughts guys, I guess I'll just have to slow down..

    My oh my....never expected philosophical deepness on a SR forum, but, on the other hand, why are we all doing this except for the zen of it.

    If you haven't changed your prep and edges are same as always, then it's angle and/or pressure. Or your listening to disco instead of rock while your shaving.

    I read this post by Glen yesterday and it did not really sink in until in bed last night ( I do my best reasoning and thinking things through at night when I cannot sleep) So this morning I decided I was going to try to use as little pressure as possible using my normal 4 pass shave techniques. It worked better than I expected. The chin and neck areas are my hardest areas but today it was much easier. I ended up with a BBS shave with no effort. Now we shall see if I can duplicate this on my next shave. Kudos to Glen for sharing his wealth of knowledge with newbies like myself
