my first 3 straight razor shaves
ok so i purchased a Wapi (prehoned) and a DOVO (lynn honed). i shaved with both razors in the past 4 days . First day was the wapi.. only bc it arrived first.. My face was burning by the end.. i stroped correctly before i shaved. it passed the HHT plus it was prehoned. i definity didnt know what i was doing and pressed too hard...
second shave, not too bad... i had a much better WTG pass... noo irratation at all.. but my XTG pass ..wow.. that hurt just as bad as the first day.. so i figured it was me pressing too hard..
third shave, was better.. i did tried the DOVO. right away i felt that it was a better fit in my hand... i had similar results as my 2nd shave.. good WTG but bad XTG... im really trying not to press hard at all but i dont know how to judge this.. all i know is my face is fine after the WTG and burns after the XTG. especially on my cheeks, where its just a clean pass towards my ears....
anyway i can fix the XTG passes.. im not gonna attempt ATG yet till i get XTG.. im at about 5oclock shadow after the WTG and BBS on cheeks with major burn.. neck area is getting better but i havent gotten the hang quite yet..
sorry if this is long winded. but basicly how can i improve my XTG pass?
