Second SR shave comments/questions
Hello,
A few days ago I did my first SR shave which I shared on the Forum. Thanks for all the great feedback.
It took a few days to grow out to do my second shave.
This second shave was different and in a good way. It took thirty one minutes start to finish. Thanks to some members feedback I tried some new things:
1. Shave on the lather.
2. Hold razor loosely to be sensitive to the push back of the hair.
3. If the hair resists back off, don't try to push and force.
I tried different angles as well.
I may have gotten one super tiny cut. I'm not sure because of all the lather. If I did it went away upon applying the cold towel at the end.
It was a close shave but when I towel off I noticed there were still a lot of hairs on the face but they are very short. With more practice, technique and experimenting with XTG and ATG it will be even closer.
I also put shave oil on the blade after finishing. I applied it with one finger along each side of the blade including the edge. The edge was oiled parallel so I didn't cut my finger. Then I put the oiled blade back in the scales. Did I do this right?
Thanks for your support,
