Good advice, but I only shave every third day since I have a light beard, my beard is white and not that noticeable, and I'm retired so I don't have to shave every day. But when I do shave I want to get the closest shave I can. The only time I get irritation is when I don't prep properly or use soap that doesn't lubricate my skin.
Baby-Butt Close on First Pass?
I completely agree with Lynn. After the first pass with a razor I just got back from the Pro's my cheek feels smooth in the direction of the pass. My jaw and neck is where I have the problem. This area requires at least 3 passes and even then I still feel some roughness against the grain in these areas. So I strive for perfection, and like the perfectionist that I am I'm usually somewhat dissatisfied with my results. I now won't blame the blade but will put the blame where it belongs... with me. I'm hoping time and more experience will improve my performance. Keeping my fingers crossed.
