Ok, well I shaved with the razor Lynn gave me again making this my third straight shave. I noticed pulling from the blade this shave and I did not notice that on the last shave with this razor. About half way through the shave I adjusted my soap mixture to make it more wet and this seemed to help with the hair pulling quite a lot. Any idea what else can cause pulling from a very sharp blade? I am wondering if I am pulling away from my face thus pulling hairs out? I only really notice this around my chin area, but I never noticed it with the DE (of course a DE is much more forgiving).

Decided to go with and cross, but not against the grain this time which will allow me to shave more often and give my skin a chance to rest more between shaves until I get my technique down to the point where I am not pulling hairs, as that does irritate my skin. I did nick myself twice today, but nothing that rinsing with cold water didnt take care of.

I also realized I was out of aftershave this time so my skin doesnt feel as good as normal after a shave
