Thanked: 2Second Shave - Questions
Second shave went better than the first, no bleeding and less burning.
I have some questions though:
Lather: I noticed that about 1 minute after I applied my lather, it dried. I am using proaso white out of their bowl with a badger brush. What I did not remedy this was to run a little water on the rush and then rub the brush on my face. The lather then was went again but at points got milky. I do not know if this is good or bad.
Shaving: I tried to put as little pressure as possible when shaving but at times if I did not use pressure the blade simply would not cut the whiskers. I thought maybe my angle was too great (>30) so I would bring the blade in closer to my face. Then a new problem manifested, the blade would not drag, but not all the whiskers would cut either.
The rest of my problems were more of the "how do I cut that" variety, e.g., area around side burns, chin by side burns, chin itself. I do not know what the hair under my chin is doing, every which way I try to cut it the blade does not want to cut the hair without force which I do not do since I know its going to lead to a nick like it did last shave.
Overall I think my second was better than my first, still have a lot to figure out.
Less blood and stinging so I count that as a win.
Thanks in advance for any tips!
