Thread: this feels natural

just to check technique since I'm learning with large blades. I noticed the angle he was holding his cleaver to his face when shaving his cheeks. I noticed how he kept his skin tight using his hand or contorting his face...very fun to watch.

After the youtube vid and while watching some Breaking Bad I stropped up my 8/8 WM Hargreaves and had a go with that on my right cheek from my sideburns to jawline today. Better technique, more hair on the blade. I can hear the hairs popping but I have to remember to keep my 38 year old skin taught. I got some of my chin but I felt it pulling so I STOPPED IMMEDIATELY!

Between the 2 blades so far I like the Hargreaves better but take that with a whole salt lick since this is my 2nd try. So I have 30 some odd razors hanging out at my house that I want to try. I thought I was gonna wait for a whole restoration job but F that. I do need to send one out for proper honing so I can see the difference between me stropping and a proper edge.

I have to use fragrance free products on my face because I have sensitive skin but the Kiss My Face stuff seems to cake up and it dries out my face. It was between KMF or the Mitchells Wool Fat and I went with the KMF. I didn't do the hot shower first or hot towel on my face...I never shower...LOL so maybe that had something to do with it.
