Few unshaved hairs... Thick beard, sensitive skin
Hello all, and sorry if this has gotten asked before, but I did a search and couldn't find anything about it. As you can see, I'm new to this forum, as well as a newbie to straight razor shaving
I've become obsessed with straight razor shaving, I've got really good tools and have spent a good amount of money on lather, pre-and-after-shave oils/balm, I've also spent a couple of hours reading about it, watching videos and what not.
It has been about a month or so that I started and I've been trying to be very patient as I have thick curly hair and very sensitive skin, and I know that practice makes it perfect. In the beginning I was getting severe skin burn to the point where next day my skin was completely scabbing. I've managed to get a lot better at that, although I still get a little bit, but far better than at first.
One issue that I can't seem to figure out is why some specific hairs, I'm talking about 1 on the cheek for example, or like 5 hairs in the chin and a few on my neck will not shave no matter what, no matter how many passes I do, these specific hairs just don't get shaved.
My beard grows in several different directions and it is pretty thick, may be this is the problem?? I really hate to think that that is the problem and that my skin is not suitable for straight razor, cause I'm loving it, and I hope this is not the case. Any of you ever had this problem and were able to figure it out? I would greatly appreciate if anyone gave me some tips. Cheers!!
