Razor Angle
Gentlemen,
Our learned Seraphim, in one of the posts, alluded to cutting the razor angle to less than 30 degrees, resting the spine almost flat against the face.
Although only a straight razor pilgrim, I agree with Seraphim. I left the 30-degree angle on the road a long time ago and seem to be doing all right.
If I were to give my angle an arbitrary degree, I would say I shave at about 10.
This might not work for everyone. It seems to work for me, especially since I never was comfortable with the 30-degree angle. If I remember, I read on the Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving information site something about placing the blade almost flat on the face. Unless, of course, I misunderstood, or misread.
So, Seraphim, thank you for your expertise and for giving me a heads up, indirectly, for the angle I use for my razor.
Gentlemen, what are your thoughts?
Regards,
Obie
