What's taking slow long?
Shave already! :rant:
He should get it in the mail Wednesday or Thursday.
Okay so I received my Hart razor from shooter74743 freshly honed and shave ready. Showered then wiped off the oil applied warm water to my face, Noxzema cream as a pre shave, catie's bubbles rose soap lathered with my AOS Gillette fine badger brush, spine slightly off my face I began to shave.
The sensation didn't feel much different then before, sort of tugging even with the blades spine practically on my face. I only did two passes which were the same north to south. I did try a pass from ear to nose taught skin and slack skin but no way was that going to happen the blade would not cut the hair, I didn't want to push it and cut myself.
The razor is definitely sharp I had two very faint landing errors so I know it is not the blade. Although I am still not sure why a DE Astra blade will glide through my 3 day growth like butter and my straight wont. I am sure there is something I am doing wrong even though I have tried so many of the suggestions here in this thread. I am still willing to try more suggestions!
We have got to get you to meet up with a fellow Californian SR user, face to face, that's all there is to it. Astra DE blades are my second favorite De blade and they are good, but nothing compares to a good straight shave.
Did you happen to video the shave like you mentioned you may?
I am wondering out loud, is the blade edge sliding on your skin or are you holding the edge off your skin?
I have whiskers from hell. My wife can get razor rash just walking by me.
Both of my Harts glide smooth through.
Keep up the practice.
Revelation!!!!! Tonight I shaved again and really focused on the angle! I put the blade flat on my face I mean all the way flat this time:rock:!!! glided the blade downward and amazingness happened the razor didn't tug it sliced like it is suppose to, like everyone said it would !!! I guess I thought the blade was flat I knew this was different because it felt weird just like it's suppose to being a noob at this!!! So pumped!!! Thank you thank you everyone
Awesome!!!!!!!!!:y:y:y:y:y
