Thread: Robert Williams French point question

I know as you started out you fought your way through a few things, (many of us did) I do not think this will be any different for you.
Give it a good try for a while, pay attention and try to improve your technique even more.
If that does not work contact Mr. Williams, you have little to lose (a few nicks) and a whole lot to gain.
I really like French, Spike, and Spanish points.
I started with a spike (after a shavette) and learned to respect it quick and to be honest I am glad I did.
Although I know that path is not for everyone.

The issue here is not the razor it is your technique. It took me almost a year to learn how to properly shave with a straight razor. While I agree I'm just a banjo player in a slow learner. I am suggesting that you give this one more time in order to become more accomplished.

Banjo who knows.. I noticed anything with a point seems to cause a problem for me.. I'm going to slow down and learn to respect the razor.. I did speak to Robert and believe it or not he says a lot of his customers have the same problem as I do, and they wind up on muting the point a tad.. I'm gonna use this razor more frequent and see if I can touch up my procedure..

Just keep the point past where you are shaving except in front of the ear. Use the point for detail work. My biggest problem was not paying attention and getting a nick in front of the ear when doing sideburn area. Like touching a hot stove, before I knew it I was very careful around the areas I was prone to get point nicks. You can do it. Just takes paying more attention and it is a breeze.
