Guys, there's a thread on Badger and Blade on this same subject that was posted years ago and is still active because it's so useful. Members make daily contributions. So I thought I'd start the ball rolling here. I learned that many strokes over the same spot with very light pressure is less irritating than fewer strokes with more pressure, at least for me.
Don’t under estimate inexpensive stuff. I bought a $3 clone razor head just to try it and it has been fantastic. I like it so much I feel like I’m cheating on my more expensive stuff.
Same here! I shaved with a lion De today, it was my first double edge and ive neglected it ever since i got fancier razors. Beautiful BBS shave from it, actually the best shave ive ever had. Sent from my Redmi S2 using Tapatalk
Reminded myself of what I knew but largely forgot -- a Gem 1912 with a new carbon blade makes for a comfortable, smooth and dandy shave.
Learned to put the coffee cup as far away from the cup holding the brush as possible. Also learned to not shave without my glasses on.
My son was shaving and he was trying out a new blade. I hear him complaining about the rough shave he was getting. So I told him I would like to try it. Sure enough not quite as bad as him but still a bad shave. Sometimes it’s not experience, it’s just a bad blade.
To not shave when your tired. Lather could have been better, and I'm shot. But hey, I'm getting better with my Badgers.
That my boar brush is a magician. It makes all the lather disappear while I'm focused on the first pass and makes the lather reappear after I reload.
fair enough, sorry to hear..well any cheap soap that isn't made from exotic bearded wombat fat and platypus milk..
Great idea for a thread. Sometimes rushing, hurrying the shave, takes longer. Blood takes a while to clean up... Herm
