Are these cuts "slices"? Or are they the kind you get from "placing" the razor on your skin without moving it? Does your edge have any small chips? I've read that can lead to cuts.

I've tried the face lather method, It works pretty good for me, but the agitation of the brush tears up the skin. I thought of hard water. I tried this with bottled water and got the same results. So, I am back to the bowl.

As for the cuts, I think it is a little of both although the edge doesnt seem to have any chips .. at least from what I can detect from the naked eye.
